#Ca(NO_3)_2(aq) + CO_2(g) + 2NaOH(aq) rarr CaCO_3(s)darr+ 2NaNO_3(aq) + H_2O(l)#

Addition of #CaCO_3# should have no effect.

Explanation:

Addition of calcium carbonate should have no effect on the reaction, inasmuch as this salt is very insoluble (like most carbonates), and therefore does not participate in the equilibrium.
