Heya! Here is your answer------
When quicklime (CaO) is put in water, heat is released. Following is the reaction-
CaO+H2O ---> Ca(OH)2+heat
This reaction is an exothermic reaction that is it gives out heat. Due to this released heat, Ajay saw the water boiling even though no heat was being supplied.The product formed was Slaked lime or Calcium hydroxide
