Lime water is more properly known as calcium hydroxide solution. Calcium hydroxide is sparingly soluble in water. It has uses as 'lime wash' or 'water wash'.
It is made from two compounds which are 'quick lime' and water,through the following reaction:
CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2
Thus it contains Ca(OH)2 and water H2 O.

Lime water is made of the elements
Calcium (Ca)
Carbon (C)
Hydrogen (H)
and Oxygen (O)

What color does lime water turn when CO2 is present?
cloudy
Why freshly prepared lime water used in experiments to test evolution of CO2?
Freshly prepared lime water is used in the evperiment to test the presence of CO2 in water because lime water turns milky when CO2 is present in water.
What gas does lime water change into?
When limewater goes cloudy it means carbon dioxide is present!
What is the element present in quick lime?
Calcium and oxygen (calcium oxide) are present in quick lime.
What is the difference between quick lime and lime water?
Quick lime is calcium oxide, CaO. Lime water is calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 dissolved in water. Lime water can be made by dissolving quick lime in water.
What elements are present in lime?
Lime water is a mixture of Ca(OH)2 and water (H2O).
How many element are present in quick lime?
Two elements--calcium and oxygen--are present in quick lime.
How many elements are there in lime water?
Limewater is calcium hydroxide solution. So the elements present are calcium, oxygen and hydrogen. Ca(OH)2 (aq).
What elements are present in quicklime?
Calcium and oxygen (calcium oxide) are present in quick lime.
What elements make up lime water?
hydrogen and oxygen
How would you test or carbon dioxide?
add lime water to the air if the lime water turns cloudy then carbon dioxide is present
What turns milky when carbon dioxide is present?
lime water
What color does lime water turn when CO2 is present?
cloudy
Why freshly prepared lime water used in experiments to test evolution of CO2?
Freshly prepared lime water is used in the evperiment to test the presence of CO2 in water because lime water turns milky when CO2 is present in water.
Function of lime water?
It is to test for the presence of carbon dioxide. If carbon dioxide is present,it will turn chalky however if carbon dioxide is absent,lime water will remain colourless.
Is lime a mixture or elements?
Lime is a compound.
What element is present in the lime?
