1.

Give one example of a combination reaction which is also exothermic.

Answer»

When quicklime or calcium oxide (CaO) reacts with water, slaked lime [Ca(OH)2] is formed. During this reaction, a large amount of heat is released. So, this reaction is an exothermic reaction.
CaO(s) + H2O(l)   ------>Ca(OH)2(aq) +Heat
calcium oxide    water                calcium  hydroxide
  (Quicklime)                                                   (slaked lime)
