Write the chemical equations whenon dioxide gas is passed through lime water:3()In small amount

Answer»

When carbon dioxide is passed through lime water which is a diluted solution of Ca(OH) 2, it turns milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate which is CaCO3.

The reaction is like this:

Ca(OH) 2 + CO2 → CaCO3 + H2O

If you pay a little more attention, you will be able to observe that it is a neutralization reaction, where base is Ca(OH)2 and acid is H2CO3 and a salt CaCO3 and H2O are formed.

So, actually the above reaction is a short form of actual reaction.

Actually CO2 is no more CO2 after dissolving in water, it becomes H2CO3 via addition reaction as shown :

CO2+H2O→ H2CO3

Now, this CaCO3 is insoluble in water which is the reason behind the milkiness of solution.
