Solution

(i) Quicklime (CaO) reacts vigorously with water to form slaked lime [Ca(OH)2], which is white in colour.
CaO(s)+H2O(l)Ca(OH)2(s)Calcium oxideCalcium hydroxide(Quich lime)(Slaked lime)(white)

(ii) When anhydrous ferrous sulphate is heated strongly, it decomposes to form brown coloured ferric oxide along with sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide gases.
