When the gas evolved during thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate is passed through lime water, it turns milky. Which gas does this confirm?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Carbon dioxide

Thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate produces carbon dioxide: \(\mathrm{CaCO_3 \xrightarrow{\Delta} CaO + CO_2}\). When this gas is passed through lime water, \(\mathrm{Ca(OH)_2}\), it forms an insoluble precipitate of calcium carbonate, making the lime water milky: \(\mathrm{Ca(OH)_2 + CO_2 \rightarrow CaCO_3 \downarrow + H_2O}\). Oxygen does not form a calcium carbonate precipitate under these conditions.
