which gas is being produced during reaction in test tube how does this gas react the with calcium hydroxide lime water
Answers
Limewater reacts with carbon dioxide (CO2) in a two step process. Limewater is calcium hydroxide dissolved in water. So the milky appearance goes away as the insoluble CaCO3 reacts forming the soluble Ca(HCO3)2. The magic is explained.
Carbon dioxide gas is being produced during reaction in test tube.
• Given chemical compounds are diluted hcl (which is acidic) and sodium carbonate (which is basic).
• So,when they react with each other by a neutralization reaction,the sodium chloride salt, water and carbon dioxide gas are produced.
Chemical equation :
HCl + Na2CO3 ---> NaCl + H2O + CO2
• The produced carbon dioxide gas reacts with the lime water or calcium hydroxide,to produce calcium carbonate and water. (The colour becomes milky white)
Chemical equation :
Ca(OH)2 + CO2 ---> CaCO3 + H2O
