Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Substance Z is likely an organic compound that is capable of undergoing fermentation. Fermentation is the process by which yeast breaks down carbohydrates and produces ethanol and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide produced during the fermentation process causes the lime water to go cloudy.
