Chemical Reactions,
We have a woman mixed quicklime with water and noticed that it was boiling.
Now she saw that because quicklime (CaO) violently reacts with water and produces slaked lime also a great amount of heat.
This released heat made the solution to boil up.
This type of reactions which produces heat are called exothermic reactions.
The reaction of this incident as follows,
CaO + H2O –––––>Ca(OH)2 + ∆ [where ∆ indicates the heat ]
That's it
Hope it helped (･ิω･ิ)
