Answer:
With NaOH you are only dissolving the material, whereas CaO reacts to make Ca(OH)2 . The calcium hydroxide has a lower solubility in water than NaOH and so will precipitate out. ... Adding CaO to Water :A lot of heat (exothermic reaction) is produced in the reaction, which may even cause the water to boil.
