Solution

  1. A reaction in which heat is released after the process is called an exothermic reaction.
  2. When calcium oxide (CaO) reacts with water, it forms calcium hydroxide(Ca(OH)2).
  3. During this reaction, a large amount of heat gets released.
  4. So, this reaction is called an exothermic reaction.
  5. Reaction can be written as: CaO(s)Quicklime+H2O(l)WaterCa(OH)2(aq)Calciumhydroxide+Heat() .
