The reason for this is that the cloudiness (calcium carbonate, chalk) reacts with more water and carbon dioxide to form a new compound called calcium hydrogencarbonate that is soluble in water. This chemical is responsible for a type of water known as hard water. Carbon dioxide gas turns lime water milky

Lime water turns milky when carbon-dioxide is added because it reacts and forms calcium carbonate which is milky in colour.
