Question
A compound 'X' combines with water, is a exothermic reaction and forms product 'Y' is used for white washing of walls. Identify 'X' and 'Y' respectively.CaCO3, Ca(OH)2CaO, CaCO3CaO, Ca(NO3)2CaO, Ca(OH)2
Solution
The compound 'X' is Calcium Oxide (CaO), commonly known as quicklime or burnt lime, and 'Y' is Calcium Hydroxide [Ca(OH)2], also known as slaked lime or hydrated lime.
The reaction is as follows:
CaO + H2O -> Ca(OH)2
This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat. Slaked lime or Calcium Hydroxide is used for white washing of walls.
So, the correct pair is CaO, Ca(OH)2.
