...finally the pink phenolphthalein turned colourless.
The pink coloration will disappear when all the aqueous calcium
hydroxide is used up (to form the white precipitate of calcium
carbonate and water) leaving no more (OH)- ions in
the solution.
Ca(OH)2(aq) + CO2(g) →
CaCO3(s) + H2O (l)
The hydroxyl ions are actually extracted to form water.
