The process of "slaking" of lime refers to the use of excess water for hydration. balanced equation: CaO + H₂0 = Ca(OH)₂ + heat released
First lets know which oxide is quick lime - CaO, is basic in nature as a result it combines with acidic oxides using heat. For example we are gonna make it react with silicon dioxide which is a very weak acid: CaO + SiO₂ → CaSiO₃
