• Touch the beaker with fingers and make a note of the change in the temperature.
Observations –
• Quick lime react vigorously with water producing hissing sound.
• Beaker becomes hot.
Inferences –
• Quick lime calcium oxide reacts with water vigorously to form calcium hydroxide and releases large amount of heat. It is an example of a combination reaction as well as an exothermic reaction.
