Formation of water soluble calcium bicarbonateWhen CO2\u200b is passed through lime water, it turns milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate which is sinsoluble in water.limewaterCa(OH)2\u200b\u200b+CO2\u200b⟶milkinessCaCO3\u200b\u200b+H2\u200bOHowever, when excess of CO2\u200b is passed through this solution, the milkiness disappears. This is due to the formation of calcium bicarbonate which is colorless and soluble in water.milkinessCaCO3 \u200b\u200b+H2\u200bO+excessCO2\u200b\u200b⟶water\xa0solubleCa(HCO3\u200b)2
