Formation of calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide
When calcium carbonate (limestone) is heated over high heat, it will decomposes into calcium oxide (quicklime) and releases carbon dioxide.
Calcium carbonate ------- Calcium oxide + Carbon dioxide.
Calcium oxide reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide (slaked lime)
Calcium oxide + Water ------ Calcium hydroxide(Slaked lime)
Slaked lime dissolve In water to form calcium hydroxide solution (lime water)
Solid calcium hydroxide + Water ------ Calcium hydroxide solution(Lime water).
