The chemical reaction CaO + H2O Ca(OH)2 is exothermic. This means that: O A. the reaction releases heat; as a consequence, Ca(OH)2 instantly loses its water content, which evaporates leaving again only CaO B. the reaction absorbs heat from the environment and Ca(OH)2 gets colder C. the reaction occurs without any change in temperature D. the reaction releases heat and Ca(OH)2 gets warmer O E. the reaction absorbs heat from the environment; as a consequence, the water contained in Ca(OH)2 instantly freezes and Ca(OH)2 becomes solid

Question
The chemical reaction CaO + H20 Ca(OH)2 is exothermic. This means that:
A. the reaction releases heat; as a consequence, Ca(OH)2 instantly loses its water
content, which evaporates leaving again only CaO
B. the reaction absorbs heat from the environment and Ca(OH)2 gets colder
O C. the reaction occurs without any change in temperature
O D. the reaction releases heat and Ca(OH)2 gets warmer
O E. the reaction absorbs heat from the environment: as a consequence, the water
contained in Ca(OH)2 instantly freezes and Ca(OH)2 becomes solid
