to show the combination reaction between quick lime with water is an exothermic reaction

Ca0  + h2o ----->    Ca(oh)2                  IT IS NOT EXOTHERMIC REACTION

When quick lime is added to water it reacts to form a substance called slaked lime.

the equation for it is-

CaO(quick lime or calcium oxide) + H2O(water) gives Ca(OH)2(slaked lime or calcium hydroxide) + heat

When the reaction is taking place we can notice a large amount of heat energy is given out. Thus it is know as an exothermic reaction.
