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.
