In the reaction of calcium oxide with water, only one product is formed and heat is released. What is the correct combined classification of this reaction?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Combination and exothermic

The reaction is \(\mathrm{CaO + H_2O \rightarrow Ca(OH)_2 + heat}\). Calcium oxide and water combine to form a single product, calcium hydroxide; therefore, it is a combination reaction. Since heat is released, it is exothermic. In contrast, in a decomposition reaction, one compound breaks down into two or more substances.
