Does Methane react in Limewater?

Yes, methane does not react with limewater (calcium hydroxide). Methane is a non-polar molecule and does not have the necessary functional groups to react with calcium hydroxide.


How can limewater be made from calcium carbonate?

Limewater can be made by adding calcium carbonate (CaCO3) to water to produce calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). The chemical reaction is CaCO3 + H2O -> Ca(OH)2 + CO2. The resulting solution is limewater, which is commonly used in various chemical tests.


What effect does oxygen do on limewater?

Oxygen does not have a direct effect on limewater. Limewater is a solution of calcium hydroxide, and when exposed to carbon dioxide, it forms calcium carbonate, turning the limewater milky. Oxygen does not directly interact with the limewater in this chemical reaction.


Why do we test the gas given off with limewater?

What gas do we exhale that can be tested for using limewater?

Carbon Dioxide will change limewater (calcium hydroxide) into calcium carbonate. This shows as a white precipitation (milky).


What does water and calcium hydroxide form?

There is no chemical reaction between water and calcium hydroxide. They simply form a mixtures commonly called limewater.


Why cant calcium hydroxide be written like CaOH2?

Calcium hydroxide is written as Ca(OH)2 because the hydroxide ion (OH-) is a polyatomic ion composed of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom. In the compound, there are two hydroxide ions associated with one calcium ion, which is why it is written as Ca(OH)2 and not CaOH2.
