Solution
The chemical reaction between quicklime and water is characterised by change in temperature of mixture.
Explanation:
When quicklime (calcium oxide, CaO) reacts vigorously with water (H2O), it forms slaked lime, calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). This combination process is highly exothermic, meaning it releases a large amount of heat. As a result, the temperature of the reaction mixture rises sharply, often making the water boil and producing a distinct hissing sound.
