Solution

For whitewashing a lime suspension is required.
The reactant used for forming lime suspension is Quick lime $(CaO)$ .
Now, add some water in Quicklime to form Slaked lime and heat.
$\underset{Quicklime}{CaO (s)} + \underset{Water}{H_{2} O (l)} \to \underset{Slakedlime}{Ca {(OH)}_{2} (s)} + Heat$
