If CO2 is passed in excess into lime water, the milkiness first formed disappears due to
reversal of the original reaction
formation of volatile calcium derivative
formation of water soluble calcium bicarbonate
the solution getting heated by exothermic reaction
CaO + CO2 → CaCO3
CaCO3 + H2O + CO2 → Ca(HCO3)2
Question 9 Solid calcium oxide reacts vigorously with water to form calcium hydroxide accompanied by liberation of heat. This process is called slaking of lime. Calcium hydroxide dissolves in water to form its solution called lime water. Which among the following is (are) true about slaking of lime and the solution formed?
(i) It is an endothermic reaction (ii) It is an exothermic reaction (iii) The pH of the resulting solution will be more than seven (iv) The pH of the resulting solution will be less than seven (a) (i) and (ii) (b) (ii) and (iii) (c) (i) and (iv) (d) (iii) and (iv)
