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.

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.
