False

Explanation:

#color(magenta)(CO_2)# turns lime water milky. When #CO_2# is passed through lime water, a reaction which produces a white precipitate takes place. Calcium Carbonate is white in color and thus produces the milky precipitate.
This is also known as the standard test of #CO_2#.

Equation:
#CO_2+Ca(OH)_2rarrCaCO_3+H_2O#

~Hope this helps! :)
