Because there is an excessive amount of CO2, causing another chemical reaction to take place.

If I put two plants into two boxes make of clear glass and wood along with some limewater why would the limewater in the wooden box turns chalky but not the limewater in the clearglass?
The plant in the wooden box has no light, so it cannot photosynthesize. The plant in the dark will still respire and so produce carbon dioxide, indicated by the limewater going milky. The plant in the clear glass box will use up any carbon dioxide and produce oxygen instead.
What are other words to describe white?
milky, clear, transparent, chalky, fair
A clear colourless liquid used to test far a gas which your body gets rid of?
the awnser is limewater :)
Why is the presence of oxygen determined by passing it through lime water?
It isn't. Bubbling gas through limewater is a test for the presence of carbon dioxide. If the gas contains carbon dioxide, then the clear solution of limewater will turn a cloudy white.
Synonyms for the word white?
transparent, snowy, milky, ivory, silvery, chalky, fair, clear, light, frosted
A clear colourless liquid used to test for a gas which your body gets rid of?
The answer is limewater. Sounds a bit weird, but it's true!
What cause limewater turns chalky?
When you breathe out, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is released. This reacts with the limewater to form a precipitate of calcium carbonate which appears as a white semitransparent substance in the solution.Because of this phenomenon, limewater is offen used in chemistry as an indicator of Carbon Dioxide. The equation (found on Wikipedia) is here below:Ca(OH)2 (aq) + CO2 (g) => CaCO3 (s) + H2O (l)Read more: Why_does_a_clear_limewater_turned_chalky_when_you_blow
What does limewater look like?
Lime water is a clear and colourless liquid, but when exposed to Carbon Dioxide, lime water turns into a milky solution.
What is a clear colourless liquid used to test for a gas which you body gets rid of?
Oh that's a simple one, limewater, it tests for carbon doixide, a gass your body gets rid of.:DOh that's a simple one, limewater, it tests for carbon doixide, a gass your body gets rid of.:D
What does when the sun is bright and clear an easterly wind you will not need to fear?
when the sun is clear then there will be a slight wind blowing toward you it depends where you are and if you are in the north area.
How do you separate a mixture of chalk powder water and stones?
Stir stones, chalk and water until the chalk is in suspension. Pour off the chalky water (repeat as required), leaving the heavier stones behind. Filter the chalky water to let clear water pass through, so leaving the chalk in the filter paper.
What happens to the lime water as carbon dioxide mixes?
It turns from a clear, colourless substance to a cloudy, whitish precipitate
