Question

Small amount of quicklime is added to water in a beaker a name and define the type of reaction that have taken place

Answer 1

combine to become a single compound. Combination reactions are exothermic in nature.

b) CaO(s) + H2O(l) ---> Ca(OH)2(aq)

Ca(OH)2 - Calcium Hydroxide

c) The beaker, when touched, will be hot.

The solution thus formed will be colourless.

Answer 2

Reaction of quick lime and water is a type of combination reaction because after combination of two products only one product gets formed.

CaO+ H2O---> Ca(OH)2

combination reaction-- A combination reaction (also known as a synthesis reaction) is a reaction where two or more elements or compounds (reactants) combine to form a single compound (product). Such reactions may be represented by equations of the following form: X + Y → XY.
