Carbon dioxide dissolves to form the weak acid hydrogen carbonate, which reacts with limewater to form a white ppt, CaCO3 (s). Concise answer: carbon dioxide forms the white precipitate of calcium carbonate. Excess carbon dioxide dissolves in water and reacts with CaCO3 to form soluble calcium bicarbonate (or calcium hydrogencarbonate).
