What are the products formed

Question:

What are the products formed in sequence when excess of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ is passed in slaked lime?

  1. $\mathrm{Ca}\left(\mathrm{HCO}_{3}\right)_{2}, \mathrm{CaCO}_{3}$

  2. $\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}, \mathrm{Ca}\left(\mathrm{HCO}_{3}\right)_{2}$

  3. $\mathrm{CaO}, \mathrm{Ca}\left(\mathrm{HCO}_{3}\right)_{2}$

  4. $\mathrm{CaO}, \mathrm{CaCO}_{3}$


Correct Option: , 2

Solution:

$\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}+\mathrm{CO}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CaCO}_{3} \downarrow+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$

$\mathrm{CaCO}_{3} \downarrow+\mathrm{CO}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{Ca}\left(\mathrm{HCO}_{3}\right)_{2}$
