Detailed Solution

The formula of quicklime is CaO.
Lime is also known as calcium oxide. When hydrated with one mole of water, it forms slaked lime, Ca(OH)2 and is known as calcium hydroxide. Whenever calcium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide, it gives rise to calcium carbonate, which is shiny white in appearance.
