When water is added to lime water (which is a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide), the calcium hydroxide dissociates into calcium ions and hydroxide ions. This results in the formation of a milky white precipitate of calcium carbonate due to a chemical reaction between the calcium ions and carbon dioxide in the air.
