ALP CBT-1, 27-Nov-24 S-3 2024
✓ Answer: C Carbon-dioxide gas
Carbon dioxide gas is passed through calcium hydroxide to form calcium carbonate and water. This reaction is generally used in the limewater test, which helps detect the presence of CO2. Helium gas is an inert gas, while oxygen gas does not form calcium carbonate with calcium hydroxide. Hydrogen gas does not react with calcium hydroxide.
