Answer:

when CO2 gas is passed through lime water it turns milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate which formula is CaCO3.

Ca(OH)2+ CO2------ CaCO3

when excess of carbon dioxide is passed through calcium carbonate calcium hydrogen carbonate is formed and solution become colourless.

CaCO3+CO2------ Ca(HCO3)
