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.

 

(iv) Quick lime combines vigorously with water to form Y which reacts slowly with carbon dioxide in the air to form Z.

 

1 [Y] - Calcium carbonate, [Z] - Calcium hydroxide
2 [Y] - Calcium hydroxide, [Z] - Calcium carbonate
3 [Y] - Calcium , [Z] - Calcium bicarbonate
4 [Y] - Calcium bicarbonate , [Z] - Calcium metal
