Why does lime water turn Milky when we blow into it
Answers
Answer:
Lime water turns milky when we blow CO2 into it. As we all know that we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. So when we blow CO2 into Lime water it reacts with lime water and form calcium carbonate which turns it into milky form.
Explanation:
When exhaled air is blown through Lime Water which is also known as calcium hydroxide, the carbon dioxide present in the exhaled air reacts with the Lime water and turns it into a milky solution, since the the CO2 reacts with Ca(OH)2 and forms CaCO3 or Calcium Carbonate, which is insoluble and white in color. Calcium hydroxide is sparingly soluble in water producing an alkaline solution known as lime water. When carbon dioxide gas is passed through or over lime water, it turns milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate. Lime reacts with acidic gases like sulfur dioxide.
