Hey dear,

● Answer -
When we add water to quicklime (calcium oxide), slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) is formed. Lot of energy is evolved in this reaction.

CaO + H2O --> Ca(OH)2



Reaction in which energy is liberated are called exothermic reaction.

From this we can conclude that reaction of quicklime with water is an exothermic reaction.

Thanks for asking..
