Answer 2

Answer:

☆ NOTE: Baking soda is a base whereas vinegar or acetic acid is an acid.

When a base reacts with an acid, then it is known as neutralization reaction. They cancel each others effect and form a neutral substance, i.e a salt and release carbon dioxide gas. When this carbon dioxide gas collected is passed through lime water, then it turns the lime water milky. Because a precipitate of calcium carbonate is formed. Therefore carbon dioxide is the gas which on passing through lime water turns lime water milky.
