because of the chemical reaction between lime water (calcium hydroxide solution) and carbon dioxide which produces insoluble calcium carbonate and water
Ca(OH)2(aq) + CO2(g) → CaCO3(s) + H2O(l)

Limewater turns to milky colour when carbon dioxide is bubbled through it due to the formation of calcium carbonate.
The following equation will help you to understand better:
Lime Water[Ca(OH)2] + Carbon Dioxide[CO2] → Calcium Carbonate[CaCO3] + Water[H2O]

∙ 13y agoLime water has the formula Ca(OH)2. When CO2 passes through this solution, there is a reaction.
Ca(OH)2 + CO2 -----> CaCO3 + H2O
CaCO3 is a white insoluble substance, so its formation makes the lime water solution go cloudy.

∙ 14y agoLime water should not go cloudy if you breath into it. If you are doing it right it should become toasters. Perhaps you have bad breath? Perhaps use a mint! :) good luck!!!

What happens to the limewater if the gas is present?
I expect you are asking what happens if carbon dioxide is bubbled through limewater. The limewater will become cloudy.
What gas does lime water change into?
When limewater goes cloudy it means carbon dioxide is present!
What is a carbon dioxide test?
limewater turns cloudy in the presence of carbon dioxide
How do you test for carbon dioxide when calcium carbonate reacts with acid?
Bubble it through limewater, the limewater will go cloudy.
Is lime water a chemical reaction?
Yes, as limewater is liquid slaked lime if I recall correctly. And if carbon dioxide reacts with limewater, it turns cloudy.
What is the test for C02?
Limewater. if carbon dioxide is present, limewater will turn milky/cloudy
What happens to the limewater if the gas is present?
I expect you are asking what happens if carbon dioxide is bubbled through limewater. The limewater will become cloudy.
What gas does lime water change into?
When limewater goes cloudy it means carbon dioxide is present!
What happens to liqiud when testing for carbon dioxide?
Limewater - if you bubble Carbon Dioxide through limewater it will go cloudy!
What is a carbon dioxide test?
limewater turns cloudy in the presence of carbon dioxide
What is the test for carbon dioxide?
to test for carbon dioxide is already dissolved in limewater , after this shake up the test tube , is it be that carbondioxide is present then two things will happen : 1) the limewater will turn cloudy as co2 is a precipatate is this solution 2)the limewater will begin to show efferevescence now we know gas is present if these two thing happen then there is an extremly high chance that co2 is present.
What would happen if bacteria cells in a petri dish containing limewater?
It will turn cloudy. Bacteria respire, so it will give out carbon dioxide. When limewater is in contact with carbon dioxide, the limewater will turn cloudy.
What test could you use to find out if CO2 gas is present in a small container?
Blow it through limewater. If the limewater turns "milky" or "cloudy" (a white substance is shown) then Carbon Dioxide is present. If nothing happens, then Carbon Dioxide is not present in your solution.
What is the test for dioxide?
Bubbling through limewater. The gas is present if the limewater turns cloudy :)
What test would allow you to tell the difference between carbon dioxide and nitrogen?
Use limewater. The limewater turns cloudy in the presence of carbon dioxide.
What kind of change is lime water turning white?
Limewater turns from 'colourless' to 'cloudy/milky' when Carbon Dioxide is present.
What has something in it that makes limewater go cloudy?
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
