PLEASE ANSWER I WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST IF THE AMSWER IS CORRECT...​

Answer 1

Answer:

i). It is combination reaction and releases a lot of heat(exothermic reaction). The product formed is basic in nature

ii) It is combination reaction as two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

CaO (s) + H2O. ----- Ca(OH)2 + Heat

calcium oxide reacts vigorously with water to produce skaked lime (calcium hydroxide) releasing a large amount of heat.

iii) It is used in white washing the walls

It is also used in the manufacturing of

cement.

It forms calcium carbonate on reacting with carbon dioxide and gives shiny finish to walls.
