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.

What is the chemical make up of ionized water?

Ionized water is a mixture of water and dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium. In order to become ionized, water is subjected to a process called electrolysis - a process that subjects water to electrical current. Ionized water molecules will have either excess protons or electrons as a result of the electrolysis. Water with excess protons will become alkaline in pH, water with excess electrons will become acidic.

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.
