Best Answer

lime water turns milky in the presence of CO2 Limewater (a solution of Calcium hydroxide) - when carbon dioxide is blown through the solution, a precipitate of Calcium carbonate is produced. The solution is said to turn "milky" or "cloudy". Bromothymol blue (pH range 2.4 to 4.6) (red in colour) is added to distilled water, which turns it yellow. Carbon dioxide turns the resulting yellow solution green.

What test is used to assess a mineral based on its reaction with a substance that may or may not produce carbon dioxide bubbles?

Carbon dioxide and water are produced when acids react with carbonate compounds. Therefore, if an acid reacts with a particular mineral and produces carbon dioxide, that mineral contains carbonate compounds.

Carbon dioxide and lime water?

CaCO3 (s) + H2O(l) CaCO3 is a white solid that appears cloudy in solution Limewater is also used in the chemical test for carbon dioxide. The chemical test is if carbon dioxide is mixed with limewater it then clouds. If this happens then the gas will be carbon dioxide.

What substance used to detect the presence of carbon dioxide?

Test for Carbon Dioxide: Bubble unknown gas in lime water. Limewater should go milky if Carbon dioxide is present. Test for water: Add anhydrous copper sulphate crystals (white in colour) to unknown solution. If solution goes a brilliant light blue colour, water is present as the hydrous copper sulphate crystals were formed. Did this help?


Why can't potassium hydroxide be used to test for carbon dioxide?

it is because potassium hydroxide will react with carbon dioxide to form potassium carbonate and water. but potassium carbonate is soluble, so there will be no visible change to see if there is carbon dioxide emitted

Does carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide have a benefit?

For the applications of carbon monoxide see the link below. Carbon Dioxide is taken in by green plants and used to make Oxygen that we breathe. Carbon Dioxide is used to make 'Carbonated' beverages. Carbon Dioxide is used in many industrial applications, such as welding. Carbon Dioxide is used to make Dry Ice. Carbon Dioxide is used in Fire Extinguishers.
