Calcium oxide + Water → Calcium hydroxide

Solution of calcium hydroxide is used to white-wash walls. It reacts slowly with carbon dioxide present in the air to form a thin layer of carbonate which gives a shiny appearance.

 

(iii) Following observations were recorded when calcium oxide reacts vigorously with water. Identify the incorrect observations:

I. It is an endothermic reaction
II. Slaked lime is produced
