Calcium oxide is added to water and the resulting mixture is filtered. This filtrate is X. When carbon dioxide is bubbled through filtrate X, a white precipitate is formed. Which equation for this reaction of filtrate X with carbon dioxide is correct?

ACaO + CO₂ → CaCO₃
BCa(OH)₂ + CO₂ → CaO + H₂CO₃
C2CaO + H₂O + CO₂ → CaCO₃ + Ca(OH)₂
DCa(OH)₂ + CO₂ → CaCO₃ + H₂O

✓ Correct answer

D: Ca(OH)₂ + CO₂ → CaCO₃ + H₂O
