Answer
Carbon dioxide gas — It turns lime water milky due to the formation of white ppt. of calcium carbonate. The milkiness disappears when carbon dioxide is passed in excess.
Ca(OH)2 + CO2 ⟶ CaCO3↓ + H2O
CaCO3↓ + H2O + CO2 [excess] ⟶ Ca(HCO3)2 [soluble]
Hydrogen chloride gas — When a glass rod dipped in ammonia solution is brought near the gas, dense white fumes of ammonium chloride are released.
NH3 + HCl ⟶ NH4Cl
