yes the air around turns the lime water chalky. It is due to the formation of calcium carbonate from lime water due to its reaction with atmospheric air which contains carbondioxide. the chemical reaction for the phenomenon is as follows Ca(OH)2+co2 =CaCO3+H2O

Why must limewater be stored in a sealed container?

Because over time the C02 in the air will react with the lime water (Calcium Hydroxide) to produce a white insoluble calcium carbonate precipitate (hence when you bubble C02 through it goes cloudy). The reaction is like so: Ca(OH)2 + CO2 → CaCO3 + H2O

What is a cool chemical reaction?

I know 2 chemical reactions. Mix an acid and a base together. Example: take some vinegar (acid) mix it with baking soda (base). Make sure you do this over a sink or put a cup inside a big bowl, and do the experment in the cup. Just pour the vinegar in the baking soda. Or get some lime water (I don't know where to find limewater or how to make it), pour some in a glass ( I recommend you put a top over the glass), put a straw in the glass, and blow air in it, and you sould notice a change with the limewater. WARNING: limewater is a dangerous acid, if you do this experment wear protective eyewear, and do not drink or get the limewater in your body, or on your skin if you do wash it off.
