Question

what does slaking lime stand for?Why is there a hissing sound during thus process? write the chemical equation for the reaction envolved. plzzzzz it is urgent

Answer 1

Calcium oxide reacts vigorously with water produce slaked lime. This reaction is called slaking of lime. The reaction is highly exothermic reaction. The hissing sound is produced during this reaction as the heat is produced.The chemical equation for this reaction is CaO(s)+H20(l)=Ca(0H)2

Answer 2

calcium oxide reacts with water and produce slaked lime this is called slaking lime this process produce hissing sound as this reaction is exothermic so it is released as heat
the chemical equation is CaO+H2O-Ca(OH)2
