Question

What happens chemically when quicklime is added to the bucket of water write balanced chemical equation also?

Answer 1

CaO (s) + H20 (l) →Ca(OH)2 + energy

Here , Slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) is formed with liberation of heat.

Hence , the process is a combination and exothermic reaction.

Answer 2

When Calcium oxide i.e. quick lime is added to water filled in a bucket, it reacts vigorously with water to produce slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) releasing a large amount of heat.
