Hey there !!
The substance that is used for white washing is known as calcium oxide [ CaO ]
When water is slowly added to it , calcium hydroxide is formed.
CaO + H₂O ---> Ca (OH)₂
This solution is applied on the walls [ white washing ].
Calcium hydroxide [ Ca(OH)₂ ] comes in contact with CO₂ present in air , and forms calcium carbonate [ limestone ] and water .
Ca(OH)₂ + CO₂ ----> CaCO₃ + H₂O
After two or three days after applying the solution of CaO , we can see a shiny appearance of white washing .
