When a compound X, (calcium carbonate) on heating gives a colorless gas (carbon dioxide) and residue (calcium oxide) as a product then residue is dissolved in water to obtain Y (calcium hydroxide) and then excess carbon dioxide is bubbled through aqueous solution of Y (calcium hydroxide) it forms Z (calcium bicarbonate). On gentle heating, Z (calcium bicarbonate) gives back X (calcium carbonate).

When the excess carbon dioxide gas is passed through the calcium hydroxide, it turns milky first due to the formation of the calcium carbonate as a precipitate which is insoluble in water and then become colorless due to the formation of calcium bicarbonate. On passing excess of carbon dioxide gas, the colorless calcium bicarbonate is formed.
