Question

what happens when calcium oxide reacts with water? write a chemical equation for the reaction which takes place. what type of chemical reaction is illustrated by this process?​

Answer 1

Answer:

When calcium oxide (chemical formula: CaO) reacts with water (chemical formula: H2O), the following reaction takes place:

CaO + H_2O -> Ca(OH)_2

The product of this reaction is calcium hydroxide, also known as slaked lime.

IT IS AN EXOTHERMIC REACTION.

Answer 2

Answer:

When calcium oxide (chemical formula: CaO) reacts with water (chemical formula: H2O), the following reaction takes place: The product of thisreaction is calcium hydroxide, also known asslaked lime. Thus, when calcium oxide reacts withwater, slaked lime is produced.

CaO + H²O----> Ca(OH)² + Heat

Such type of reaction where two reactant combine together to form a single product is called combination reaction.
