What happens when carbon dioxide is passed through lime water? Write the equation for this reaction.

Answer»

When a limited amount of CO2 is passed through lime water, it turns milky due to the formation of insoluble calcium carbonate. 

Ca(OH)2 + CO2 → CaCO3 + H2

When an excess amount of CO2 is passed through lime water, it first turns milky and the milkyness disappears due to the formation of soluble calcium hydrogen carbonate, Ca(HCO3)2
