What type of reaction takes place between lime and the acid?

If u add water to lime it will be lime water which is base thus when acid reacts with base then that will be "neutralization reaction". And formation of salt and water will take place. It will be exothermic in nature.


Why does Lime Away clean a penny?

Lime Away contains acidic compounds, such as phosphoric acid, that break down and dissolve the oxides and mineral deposits on the surface of the penny. This reaction removes the tarnish and restores the penny to its original shine.


What kind of acids does lime contain?

You mean lime the fruit? Citric acid.


What chemical reactions are involved in soda lime test?

In the soda lime test, hydrochloric acid reacts with soda lime (a mixture of calcium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide) to generate carbon dioxide gas. This reaction involves the neutralization of the acid by the base in the soda lime, leading to the formation of water and a salt. The carbon dioxide produced turns limewater milky, indicating the presence of the gas.


Why did the lime water change in reaction of acids lab?

In the reaction of acids lab, lime water (calcium hydroxide solution) changes due to the formation of calcium carbonate when carbon dioxide gas is produced by the acid reacting with a carbonate or bicarbonate. The reaction can be summarized as follows: when an acid is introduced, it reacts with the carbonate present, releasing carbon dioxide, which then reacts with calcium hydroxide in lime water to form the insoluble calcium carbonate. This results in a milky appearance, indicating the presence of carbon dioxide. The lime water's change reflects the acid-base reaction and the subsequent precipitation of calcium carbonate.
