What happens when hydrogen gas is passed through lime water?

When hydrogen gas is passed through lime water, no immediate change will be observed. Lime water is a solution of calcium hydroxide, which is basic. Since hydrogen gas is neutral, it does not react with lime water to produce a visible change.


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 dioxide gas is passed through lime water?

It turns cloudy (or milky). Lime water is calcium hydrogen carbonate dissolved in water. When it comes into contact with carbon dioxide, they react together to make calcium carbonate (chalk), which is white and less soluble in water. So the fine white precipitate that forms makes the solution turn cloudy.


What is another test for CO2 gas?

Another test for CO2 gas is the lime water test. When carbon dioxide gas is bubbled through lime water, it will turn milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate.


How would you use lime water to test if there is carbon dioxide in your exhaled breath?

when lime water react with carbon dioxide,it turns milky.So, we have to take some lime water in a test tube and exhale 2 -3 times to the test tube through a bend tube. It will turn milky and that's why our exhaled breath is carbon dioxide.


What puts out a lighted splint and turns lime water milky?

Carbon dioxide gas extinguishes a lighted splint by cutting off the oxygen supply needed for combustion. When carbon dioxide is bubbled through lime water, it forms calcium carbonate, which causes the lime water to turn milky.


What gas is lime-water used for to test for?

Carbon Dioxide, which will turn limewater milky white, indicating the presence of Calcium Carbonate.


What colourless gas which turns lime water milky and is taken in by plants during photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide is the colorless gas that turns lime water milky and is taken in by plants during photosynthesis.


What effect of the gas oxygen on lime water?

When oxygen gas is added to lime water (a solution of calcium hydroxide), it reacts with the calcium hydroxide to form calcium carbonate, which is white and insoluble in water. This reaction causes the lime water to turn milky.


Which gas makes lime water milky?

stable amounts of glucose iodine does this.


Why is sugar used in the lime water test?

Sugar is used in the lime water test to provide a source of carbon dioxide. When the sugar is mixed with yeast and water, fermentation occurs, producing carbon dioxide gas. This gas is then passed through the lime water, causing it to turn milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate.


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.
