C) Quicklime reacts with water to form slaked lime, releasing a large amount of heat.reaction​

Answer»

Answer:

Which TYPE of reaction occurs when quick LIME is added to water?

The formation of slaked lime (CALCIUM hydroxide, Ca(OH)2) when water is added to lime (CaO) is exothermic. CaO(s) + H2O (l) → Ca(OH)2(s) This reaction occurs when water is added to dry portland cement to make concrete, and heat evolution of energy as heat is evident because the mixture becomes warm.

Explanation:

Quick lime reacts vigorously with water to produce slaked lime RELEASING a large AMOUNT of heat. So the reaction is highly exothermic.
