Answer:
Quick lime (Cao) combines with water to form calcium hydroxide(Ca(OH)2). It is an exothermic reaction as heat is produced in the reaction. Cao + H20 – Ca(OH)2 + heat
On adding excess of calcium hydroxide in water, a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide is formed which is called lime water. Lime water is basic in nature and therefore has a pH above 7.
