(i) Substance X is lime water.

Ca(OH)2 + CO→ CaCO3 + H2O

Ca(OH) -(Lime water)

CO2   -(Carbon dioxide)

CaCO-(Calcium carbonate)

H2O - (Water)

(ii) Calcium oxide reacts vigorously with water to produce slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) releasing a large amount of heat.

CaO(s) + H2O(l)→ Ca(OH)2(ag)

CaO(s) - (Quicklime)

Ca(OH)2(ag) - (slaked lime)
