Calcium reacts vigorously with water to produce slaked lime. Identify the correct classification: I. Combination reaction II. Endothermic reaction III. Exothermic reaction
Question 9 Solid calcium oxide reacts vigorously with water to form calcium hydroxide accompanied by liberation of heat. This process is called slaking of lime. Calcium hydroxide dissolves in water to form its solution called lime water. Which among the following is (are) true about slaking of lime and the solution formed?
(i) It is an endothermic reaction (ii) It is an exothermic reaction (iii) The pH of the resulting solution will be more than seven (iv) The pH of the resulting solution will be less than seven (a) (i) and (ii) (b) (ii) and (iii) (c) (i) and (iv) (d) (iii) and (iv)
Calcium oxide reacts vigorously with water to produce slaked lime. CaO(s) + H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(aq) This reaction can be classified as : (i) Combination reaction (ii) Exothermic reaction (iii) Endothermic reaction (iv) Oxidation reaction Which of the following is a correct option?
