CO₂ + H₂O → H₂CO₃① CO₂ dissolves in the pellet's surface water film

H₂CO₃ + 2NaOH → Na₂CO₃ + 2H₂O + heat② fast neutralisation by NaOH (catalyst)

Na₂CO₃ + Ca(OH)₂ → CaCO₃ + 2NaOH③ slow step: lime locks CO₂ as chalk, regenerating NaOH

Net: CO₂ + Ca(OH)₂ → CaCO₃ + H₂O, ΔH ≈ −113 kJ/mol. Indicator turns white → violet as pH drops.
