At first, lime water reacts with carbon dioxide to form CaCO3 which is white and insoluble. When more of the gas is passed through, it reacts with the CaCO3 and water to form CaHCO3 which is soluble and clear.

Why hydrogen turn water milky?

When hydrogen gas is bubbled through water, it forms tiny hydrogen bubbles that become trapped on the surface of the water droplets. These bubbles scatter light, creating a milky or cloudy appearance in the water. This effect is known as the Tyndall effect.


What happens to the urine in case there is excess water in your body fluids?

When there is excess water in your body fluids, your kidneys will produce more dilute urine to help get rid of the excess water. This results in a higher volume of urine that is more clear and less concentrated.


Can dirty water become clear?

If you filter it enough times, eventually it will turn clear, or clear-ish.


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

When carbon dioxide gas is passed through lime water in excess, the lime water turns milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) as a white precipitate. This reaction is used as a test for the presence of carbon dioxide gas.

Milky water should tell you its time for a water change!


What happens when hydrogen gas is passed through lime water?

When hydrogen gas is passed through lime water, no immediate change will be observed. Lime water is a solution of calcium hydroxide, which is basic. Since hydrogen gas is neutral, it does not react with lime water to produce a visible change.


What color does lime water change to when carbon dioxide is bubbled in?

Lime water changes from clear to milky/cloudy when carbon dioxide is bubbled in, indicating the formation of calcium carbonate.


Why does arak or pastisse etc turn milky when water is added to it?

The lower alcohol percentage causes some of the constituents to become insoluble.


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.
