$(a)$ $A$ solution of a substance $'X'$ is used for testing carbon dioxide. Write the equation of the reaction of $'X'$ with carbon dioxide.
$(b)$ How is $'X'$ obtained? Write the chemical equation.
$(b)$ How is $'X'$ obtained? Write the chemical equation.
(N/A) The substance $'X'$ is lime water,which is calcium hydroxide $\left[ Ca(OH)_{2} \right]$.
The chemical equation for the reaction of lime water with carbon dioxide is:
$Ca(OH)_{2}(aq) + CO_{2}(g) \longrightarrow CaCO_{3}(s) + H_{2}O(l)$
$(b)$ $'X'$ (calcium hydroxide) is obtained by the reaction of quick lime (calcium oxide) with water (slaking of lime).
The chemical equation is:
$CaO(s) + H_{2}O(l) \longrightarrow Ca(OH)_{2}(aq)$
The chemical equation for the reaction of lime water with carbon dioxide is:
$Ca(OH)_{2}(aq) + CO_{2}(g) \longrightarrow CaCO_{3}(s) + H_{2}O(l)$
$(b)$ $'X'$ (calcium hydroxide) is obtained by the reaction of quick lime (calcium oxide) with water (slaking of lime).
The chemical equation is:
$CaO(s) + H_{2}O(l) \longrightarrow Ca(OH)_{2}(aq)$

View SolutionIn an attempt to demonstrate electrical conductivity through an electrolyte,the following apparatus was set up. Which among the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(i)$ Bulb will not glow because electrolyte is not acidic.
$(ii)$ Bulb will glow because $NaOH$ is a strong base and furnishes ions for conduction.
$(iii)$ Bulb will not glow because circuit is incomplete.
$(iv)$ Bulb will not glow because it depends upon the type of electrolytic solution.
Solution: The apparatus shows a beaker containing a dilute $NaOH$ solution with two nails fixed on a rubber cork. $NaOH$ is a strong base that dissociates completely in water to provide $Na^+$ and $OH^-$ ions. These free ions act as charge carriers,allowing the electric current to flow through the solution and complete the circuit. Therefore,the bulb will glow. Statement $(ii)$ is correct.
