Can sodium bicarbonate make clear lime water?
Obviously, yes, it's well explained by chemical equations
At this time, a sufficient amount of calcium hydroxide, then it has plenty of hydroxyl ions and calcium ions, then after complete reaction, bicarbonate will transfer to calcium carbonate, but while the remaining hydroxyl resultant reaction, so is calcium carbonate and sodium hydroxide.
At this time, the amount of calcium hydroxide, that is to say the amount of sodium bicarbonate than calcium hydroxide, but because there is only one hydrogen ion and bicarbonate, calcium hydroxide has two hydroxyl ions, then the hydrogen ion will be completely consumed, but not enough to calcium ions and carbonate ions to produce calcium carbonate, so generated the reaction of calcium carbonate and sodium carbonate.
