When water is added to calcium oxide (quicklime), it will be converted to calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) with the liberation of enormous amount of heat.
CaO + H2O = Ca(OH)2 + heat
It is an exothermic reaction. Calcium hydroxide is an alkali.
CaO + H2O = Ca(OH)2 + heat
It is an exothermic reaction. Calcium hydroxide is an alkali.
