Question

what happens when excess of CO2 is passed through lime water

Prerna Bansal · Accepted Answer

Hi,
when carbon dioxide is passed through lime
water, a white precipitate of calcium carbonate is formed
If excess CO2 is added, the
following reaction takes place:
CaCO3 + H2O +
CO2 → Ca
(HCO3)2

The product formed Ca
(HCO3)2 is colorless and is soluble in the
solution

Hope it helps
Cheers!
