Question
Give scientific reason.
When the gas formed on heating limestone, is passed through freshly prepared lime water, the lime water turns milky.
Solution
- When limestone is heated, calcium oxide and carbon dioxide gas are formed.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{carbonate}}{\underset{\text{Calcium}}{CaCO_{3(s)}}} + Heat -> \underset{\text{oxide}}{\underset{\text{Calcium}}{CaO_{(s)}}} + \underset{\text{dioxide}}{\underset{\text{Carbon}}{CO_2↑}}}\] - When carbon dioxide gas is passed through freshly prepared lime water, the solution turns milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate, which is insoluble in water.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{hydroxide}}{\underset{\text{Calcium}}{Ca(OH)2_{(aq)}}} + \underset{\text{dioxide}}{\underset{\text{Carbon}}{CO_{2(g)}}} -> \underset{\text{carbonate}}{\underset{\text{Calcium}}{CaCO_{3(s)}}} + \underset{\text{Water}}{H2O_{(l)}}}\]

A solid substance P which is very hard is used in the construction of many buildings, especially flooring. When substance P is heated strongly, it decomposes to form another solid Q and a gas R is given out. Solid Q reacts with water with the release of a lot of heat to form a substance S. When gas R is passed into a clear solution of substance S, then a white precipitate of substance T is formed. The substance T has the same chemical composition as starting substance P.
