Calcium Hydroxide and Carbon Dioxide (Limewater Test)

Ca(OH)2 + CO2 → CaCO3 + H2O

概要

Calcium hydroxide solution (limewater) turns milky white when carbon dioxide is bubbled through it, due to the formation of insoluble calcium carbonate particles. This is the classic test for carbon dioxide gas. With excess CO2, the milkiness disappears as soluble calcium bicarbonate forms.
