The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Lime Water Test**: - Lime water is a solution of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂). - When carbon dioxide (CO₂) or sulfur dioxide (SO₂) is bubbled through lime water, a reaction occurs. 2. **Reaction with Carbon Dioxide**: - The reaction of CO₂ with lime water can be represented as: \[ \text{Ca(OH)}_2 + \text{CO}_2 \rightarrow \text{CaCO}_3 \downarrow + \text{H}_2O \] - Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) is formed, which is a white precipitate that makes the lime water appear milky. 3. **Reaction with Sulfur Dioxide**: - The reaction of SO₂ with lime water can be represented as: \[ \text{Ca(OH)}_2 + \text{SO}_2 \rightarrow \text{CaS} + \text{H}_2O \] - Calcium sulfide (CaS) is formed, which also results in a white precipitate, causing the lime water to turn milky. 4. **Observations with Excess Gas**: - If excess CO₂ is passed through the lime water, the milkiness disappears due to the formation of calcium bicarbonate: \[ \text{CaCO}_3 + \text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2O \rightarrow \text{Ca(HCO}_3)_2 \] - Similarly, excess SO₂ leads to the formation of calcium bisulfide, which is also soluble: \[ \text{CaS} + \text{SO}_2 + \text{H}_2O \rightarrow \text{Ca(HSO}_3)_2 \] 5. **Conclusion**: - Since both CO₂ and SO₂ can cause the lime water to turn milky, a positive observation indicates the presence of either gas. - Therefore, any conclusion stating that the positive observation is specific to only one of these gases (CO₂ or SO₂) is incorrect.

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Lime Water Test**: - Lime water is a solution of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂). - When carbon dioxide (CO₂) or sulfur dioxide (SO₂) is bubbled through lime water, a reaction occurs. 2. **Reaction with Carbon Dioxide**: - The reaction of CO₂ with lime water can be represented as: ...
