Answer:
The observed reaction during this experiment is exothermic and thus, the temperature of the beaker rises.
Explanation:
- It is an exothermic reaction because calcium oxide combines forcefully with water to create slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), which releases a lot of heat. It is a combination reaction, and after it is finished, a clear solution is obtained at the top.
- Calcium oxide reacts vigorously with water to form calcium hydroxide (also known as slaked lime) when water is slowly added to a small amount of calcium oxide placed in a beaker.
- Significant amount of heat is released. So, the reaction is exothermic.
- The temperature of quicklime rises when water is introduced.
- An illustration of an exothermic process is this.
- Calcium oxide from quick lime interacts violently with water to generate calcium hydroxide while producing a significant quantity of heat.
