Solution

When acetic acid is treated with sodium bicarbonate, carbon dioxide is produced with brisk effervescence. This gas is turns lime water ( CaO) milky due to the production of CaCO₃.
Reaction involved are mentioned below:
CH₃COOH + NaHCO₃ $\to$ CH₃COONa + H₂O + CO_{2 $↑$}

CaO + CO₂ $\to$ CaCO₃ $↓$
