Aqueous calcium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide to form a white precipitate, calcium carbonate, and water. Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to produce carbonic acid (H2CO3), The carbonic acid reacts with OH- to produce the carbonate ion that precipitates with calcium ion. Here's the equation:
Ca(OH)_2 + CO_2 -> CaCO_3 + H_2O
