Lime water turns milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate when carbon dioxide is dissolved in it, resulting in a reaction that produces insoluble calcium carbonate precipitate. In fire extinguishers, lime water can be used to neutralize acidic gases generated during combustion, providing a chemical means to help suppress fires. Additionally, the milky appearance can indicate the presence of CO2, which is a byproduct of combustion.
