उत्तर
- Calcium carbonate undergoes a decomposition reaction in the first test tube forming calcium oxide powder and carbon dioxide gas.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Limestone}}{CaCO_{3(s)}} ->[\Delta] \underset{\text{Calcium oxide}}{CaO_{(s)}} + \underset{\text{Carbon dioxide}}{CO2\uparrow}}\] - Carbon dioxide gas formed in the first test tube turns the lime water milky in the second test tube due to the formation of calcium carbonate, which is insoluble in water.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Calcium hydroxide}}{Ca(OH)_{2(aq)}} + \underset{\text{Carbon dioxide}}{CO_{2(g)}} -> \underset{\text{Calcium carbonate}}{CaCO_{3(s)}} + \underset{\text{Water}}{H2O_{(l)}}}\] - The calcium oxide powder, remains behind in the first test tube.
