Hello !
Calcium Hydroxide is formed when water and calcium oxide are combined together .
CaO + H₂O ===> Ca(OH)₂
======================================
When Calcium hydroxide is painted on the walls , and left for 2 days , a layer of calcium carbonate is formed on the walls , which gives a white and shiny appearance to the walls.This is because of the reaction of calcium hydroxide with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate and water.
Ca(OH)₂ + CO₂ ==> CaCO₃ + H₂O
This equation is already balanced !
Hope this Helps you !
