Lime reacts exothermally with water to give ‘AA’ which has low solubility in water. Aqueous solution of ‘AA’ is often used for the test of CO2{CO}_{2}, a test in which insoluble BB is formed. If BB is further reacted with CO2{CO}_{2} then soluble compound is formed. ‘AA' is

Options

  1. AQuick lime
  2. BSlaked lime
  3. CWhite lime
  4. DLime water

Correct answer

B. Slaked lime

Step-by-step solution

CaOLime→LimitedwaterCa(OH)2\mathop{CaO}_{Lime}\overset{Limitedwater}{\to}Ca{\left(OH\right)}_{2}

The process is known as slaking of lime and the product is slaked lime. It is an exothermic process.

Ca(OH)2aqCa{\left(OH\right)}_{2}aq solution is known as lime water and used for test of CO2{CO}_{2}.

Ca(OH)2(aq)→CO2CaCO3CaCO3+CO2(excess)+H2O→Ca(HCO3)2Ca{\left(OH\right)}_{2}\left(aq\right)\overset{{CO}_{2}}{\to}{CaCO}_{3}{CaCO}_{3} + {CO}_{2}\left(excess\right) + {H}_{2}O\overset{}{\to}Ca{\left({HCO}_{3}\right)}_{2}

Milkiness is due to the formation of calcium carbonate and disappearance of milkiness is due to the formation of calcium bicarbonate.
