Answer:

The interaction reaction of calcium oxide and water leads to the formation of calcium hydroxide, this reaction is exothermic, which indicates that energy is released.

CaO(s) + H2O ⇒ Ca(OH)2

Explanation:

Calcium oxide reacts violently with water, causing it to reach 90 C. It then forms calcium hydroxide, also called slaked lime. It is heated because it releases energy in the form of heat, because the new substance formed (slaked lime) has less internal energy than the original and this is released in the form of heat. As a general rule, acid and base solutions are exothermic.

What is a chemical treatment process used to remove dissolved ionic species from contaminated aqueous streams?
NeTakaya

Answer:

Ion exchange.

Explanation:

One of the ways in which water can be treated is through the process known as ION EXCHANGE. Using this for treating water has to do basically with the transfer or say the exchange of ions.

Ion exchanges is done by exchanging ions which are considered as 'unfit' or contaminants by the ones that are "fit".

Ions from what is known as zeolite or resin is been exchanged with the ions in the water. Cations are exchanged with cations and anions are exchanged with anions.

NB: this method is a good method or removing contaminants that are ions but not contaminants that are not ions.
