Solution

Dear student,

The balanced equation:
$C a (O H)_{2} (a q) + C O_{2} (g) \to C a C O_{3} (s) + H_{2} O (l)$

Lime water is a saturated solution of Ca(OH)₂ in water. When carbon dioxide is passed through lime water, it turns milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate. Lime water itself is a chemical substance is not fit for consumption, and so when CO₂ is passed through lime water, it will also not be fit for drinking.

Regards
