Lime water goes cloudy when a reaction takes place with carbon dioxide. Lime water detects the presence of lime water.

When carbon dioxide is bubbled through lime water, it can react with the lime to form calcium carbonate, and this forms as a solid in small particles that make the water appear cloudy.

Why breathed-out air turns time water cloudy quicker than breathed-in air?

breathed out air turns lime water cloudy than breathed out air cuz the carbon dioxide content present in breathed out air(0.04% approximately) as compared to breathed out air(4% approximately)so as CO2 passes through lime water it turns lime water cloudy:)


What happens when lime water is exposed to oxygen?

If it's exposed to pure oxygen then nothing will happen. If it's exposed to air then the carbon dioxide in air will make it go cloudy. Lime water is the test for the presence of carbon dioxide.


What substance is produced when lime water goes cloudy?

Add carbon dioxide to it. The carbon dioxide will react to form a precipitate which makes the water appear cloudy.


What happens when carbon dioxide gas is passed through lime water?

It turns cloudy (or milky). Lime water is calcium hydrogen carbonate dissolved in water. When it comes into contact with carbon dioxide, they react together to make calcium carbonate (chalk), which is white and less soluble in water. So the fine white precipitate that forms makes the solution turn cloudy.
