Solution

A solution of ${C a (O H)}_{2}$ is used for white washing walls.
$C a O + H_{2} O ⟶ {C a (O H)}_{2}$
${C a (O H)}_{2}$ reacts with ${C O}_{2}$ in the aire to form a thin larger of ${C a C O}_{3}$ on the walls. ${C a C O}_{3}$ is formed after two to three days of white washing and gives a shiny finish to the walls.
${C a (O H)}_{2} (a q) + {C O}_{2} \to {C a C O}_{3} (s) + H_{2} O (l)$
