Question

what happens when carbon dioxide is passed through lime water? write the balanced chemical equation of the same
​

Answer 1

Answer:

When Co2 is passed through lime water in excess, the turbidity disappears as calcium bicarbonate gets formed which is soluble in water and hence a clear solution is observed.

The reaction is given as: CaCO3(s) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) ------> Ca(HCO3)2(aq).
