Answer:
Quick lime(CaO) combines with water to form calcium hydroxide(Ca(OH)
2
). It is an exothermic reaction as heat is produced in the reaction.
CaO+H2
O→Ca(OH) 2+heat
On adding excess of calcium hydroxide in water, a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide is formed which is called lime water. Lime water is basic in nature and therefore has a pH above 7.
