Define compound reacts with moisture in the air

Reference no: EM13563109

Calcium oxide is sometimes very challenging to store in the chemistry laboratory. This compound reacts with moisture in the air and is converted to calcium hydroxide. If a bottle of calcium oxide is left on the shelf too long, it gradually absorbs moisture from the humidity in the laboratory. Eventually, the bottle cracks and spills the calcium hydroxide that has been produced. Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this process
