Calcium oxide reacts with water to produce Calcium Hydroxide.
The reaction is exothermic.
When water is added to Calcium oxide,a hissing sound is produced.
This is due to the steam formed by the heat generated from the reaction.
The chemical equation is as follows.
CaO (s) + H₂O(l) ------> Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + heat
