Oxygen will have no effect on Lime water. Carbon Dioxide on the other hand will cause it to become cloudy.


How could we confirm that the gas generated was in fact Carbon dioxide?

Test it with lime water. If the lime water goes milky you have carbon dioxide.


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 gas do you test using lime water?

You can test for carbon dioxide gas using lime water. When carbon dioxide is blown into lime water, it turns cloudy due to the formation of calcium carbonate.


Why does lime water absorb carbon dioxide?

ime water can be used to detect the presence of carbon dioxide because lime water reacts with carbon dioxide to produce a precipitate of calcium carbonate:Ca(OH)2 (aq) + CO2 (g) → CaCO3 (s) + H2O (l) no, lime water doesn't produce carbon dioxide, it just detects it.


When you mix hydrochloric acid to calcium carbonate and transfer the gas to mix with lime water what is the lime water testing for?

The lime water is testing for the presence of carbon dioxide gas. When hydrochloric acid reacts with calcium carbonate, carbon dioxide gas is produced. This gas is then passed through the lime water, which will turn milky/cloudy if carbon dioxide is present.


What happens when carbon di oxide passes through lime water?

What is the difference between soda lime and lime water?

Soda lime removes carbon dioxide from breathing gases, as in submarines for example, and thus prevent carbon dioxide poisoning. Lime water has a number of uses. It can detect the presence of Carbon Dioxide. It can be used in food products, corn tortillas for example. It is used to make sugar from sugar beet. It is used in seawater aquariums.


What is a test to show that a gas is carbon dioxide?

Put the gas (CO2) in lime water. If the lime water changes colour, then it means that there is carbon dioxide in the gas depending on how fast the lime water changes colour
