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.

What is the purpose of soda lime in a spirometer?

Soda lime in a spirometer is used to absorb carbon dioxide from exhaled air. This helps to prevent the buildup of carbon dioxide in the spirometer during testing and allows for accurate measurements of lung function.


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.


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 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


What color does lime water change to when carbon dioxide is bubbled in?

Lime water changes from clear to milky/cloudy when carbon dioxide is bubbled in, indicating the formation of calcium carbonate.
