Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
When calcium hydroxide solution, which is also known as lime water, reacts with carbon dioxide gas, a white precipitate of calcium carbonate is obtained as a product along with water. This chemical reaction can be represented in the form of a chemical equation with symbols of physical state of the reactants and products-
Ca(OH)2 (aq) + CO2 (g) à CaCO3 (s) + H2O (l)
(Calcium Hydroxide) (Carbon Dioxide) (Calcium Carbonate) (Water)
