Lime is considered to be calcium oxide which is a base. The lime will neutralize acids that form a salt and water. Calcium oxide plus hydrochloric acid equals calcium chloride plus water.

What happens when magnesium is mixed with lime water?

When magnesium is mixed with lime water, no immediate reaction occurs. The white precipitate that forms when lime water reacts with carbon dioxide in the air will not form when magnesium is added.


What does calcium oxide produce when it reacts with water?

calcium oxide (quick lime) produces calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) when reacts with water.


What happens when exhaled air is bubbled into lime water?

When exhaled air is bubbled into lime water, the carbon dioxide in the exhaled air reacts with the calcium hydroxide in the lime water to form calcium carbonate, which causes the lime water to turn milky or cloudy. This is because carbon dioxide reacts with calcium hydroxide to produce calcium carbonate, water, and heat.


What happens when oxygen is put in to lime water?

When oxygen is added to lime water (calcium hydroxide solution), it reacts with the calcium hydroxide to form calcium carbonate. This reaction causes the lime water to turn milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate, which is insoluble and settles out of the solution as a solid.


What base is formed when water in soil reacts with lime?

The base formed when water in soil reacts with lime is calcium hydroxide. This reaction occurs when calcium oxide (lime) reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide, which can help in neutralizing soil acidity and improving soil structure.


What happens when lime juice is mixed with water?

lime flavored water.


What happens to lime-water when you mix it with hydrogen and add a burning splint?

When lime-water is mixed with hydrogen and a burning splint is introduced, the mixture will produce a squeaky pop sound. This indicates the presence of hydrogen gas, as it reacts with oxygen in the air to create a small explosion. Lime-water itself does not react with hydrogen gas in this scenario.


What reacts with lime water forming a precipitate?

Carbon dioxide reacts with lime water (calcium hydroxide solution) forming calcium carbonate as a white precipitate.


What happen when quick lime is added water?

It reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide.


Which colour does the lime water change to when put in oxygen?

Lime water turns milky or cloudy when exposed to oxygen. This is due to the formation of calcium carbonate as the lime water reacts with carbon dioxide in the air.


Why lime water turn milky but become clear with excess co2?

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 reacts with Lime water?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) reacts with lime water (calcium hydroxide) to form calcium carbonate, which is insoluble and appears as a milky precipitate. This reaction is often used to test for the presence of carbon dioxide gas.
