Yes. What happens is that the CO2 from your breath reacts w/ the limewater (calcium hydroxide) to form water and calcium carbonate. The calcium carbonate is the solid stuff that makes it look cloudy. The reaction is: 2Ca(OH)2 + 2CO2 ==> 2CaCO3 + H2O

Dan D is correct.

Ca(OH)2(aq) + CO2(g) ===> CaCO3(s) + H2O
