If CO2 is passed through slaked lime(calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2). Reaction:::: CO2 + CA(OH)2----> CaCO3+ H2O. It gives out calcium carbonate (CaCO3) also called as marble/limestone. Hope this helps u.

This is one of the chemical tests for carbon dioxide. That is called as lime water test. When lime (CaO) reacts with water it forms slaked lime \left(\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}\right). When the carbon dioxide is passing  through the slaked lime solution, it turns milky when the calcium carbonate and calcium bicarbonate is formed.

The chemical reaction can be expressed as:  

\mathrm{CaO}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}

\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}+\mathrm{CO}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{CaCO}_{3}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}

When calcium hydroxide is treated with carbon dioxide, the calcium carbonate and water is formed, then carbon dioxide is released.
