Question

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(c):Quick lime reacts vigorously with water to produce calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) and release a large amount of heat (exothermic reaction). $$ \underset{	ext { (Quick lime) }}{\mathrm{CaO}_{(s)}}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(l)} \longrightarrow \underset{	ext { (Slaked lime) }}{\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2(a q)}}+	ext { heat } $$
