Lime water is calcium hydroxide. When carbon dioxide is bubbled through it forms this precipitate called as calcium carbonate. This doesnt dissole in the water so the lime water bexomes milky.

∙ 11y agoLime water is a solution of water and Ca(OH)2. When you blow air into the lime water, you are blowing CO2 gas into it, and it undergoes a series of reactions that result in the precipitate calcium carbonate (CaCO3), which makes the water look milky. The overall reaction is Ca(OH)2(aq) + CO2(g) ---> CaCO3(s) + H2O(l) .

How would you use lime water to test if there is carbon dioxide in your exhaled breath?
when lime water react with carbon dioxide,it turns milky.So, we have to take some lime water in a test tube and exhale 2 -3 times to the test tube through a bend tube. It will turn milky and that's why our exhaled breath is carbon dioxide.

How do you get limestone from quicklime?
Take a small quantity of quicklime (CaO) in a beaker and add a small quantity of water into it. Quicklime reacts vigorously with water to form a suspension of slaked lime (Ca(OH)2) in water. CaO + H2O = Ca(OH)2 Then leave the beaker containing slaked lime undisturbed for some time. After some time a clear solution is obtained as the suspension of slaked lime settles down. This clear solution is called lime water. Then take the lime water in a test tube and pass CO2 gas through it (or blow exhaled air into the lime water through a glass tube). The lime water turns milky. CO2 gas reacts with lime water to form a white precipitate of calcium carbonate. This white precipitate is called lime stone Ca(OH)2 + CO2 = CaCO3 + H2O
