JEE Main & Advanced Chemistry Analytical Chemistry Question Bank Wet Test for Acid Radical

  • question_answer
    When \[C{{O}_{2}}\] is passed into lime water it turns milky. When excess of \[C{{O}_{2}}\] is passed, milkyness disappears because

    A) Reaction is reversed

    B) Water soluble \[Ca{{(HC{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}\] is formed

    C) Vaporisable calcium derivative is formed

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\underset{\text{lime water}}{\mathop{Ca{{(OH)}_{2}}\ +\ C{{O}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\ \underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{white}\  \\  \text{precipitate}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CaC{{O}_{3(S)}}+{{H}_{2}}O}}\,\] \[CaC{{O}_{3}}+C{{O}_{2}}(\text{excess)}+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{so\operatorname{lub}le}{\mathop{Ca{{(HC{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}}}\,\]
