No. Quicklime is calcium oxide a compound with the formula CaO.
Lime water is calcium hydroxide or Ca(OH)2 dissolved in water, producing a very basic solution.
Lime, will form lime water if it is dissolved in water though.
Dry calcium hydroxide is known as slaked lime.

What is the difference between quick lime and lime water?
Quick lime is calcium oxide, CaO. Lime water is calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 dissolved in water. Lime water can be made by dissolving quick lime in water.
How is slake lime made?
adding water to quick lime produces slaked lime.
What does calcium oxide produce when it reacts with water?
calcium oxide (quick lime) produces calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) when reacts with water.
Is quick lime an acid?
Quick lime is a base. It reacts vigourously with water (hence the term "quick" living, as "quick and the dead") CaO + H2O -> CaOH + OH-
Does quick lime produce fire if mixed with water?
yes
What happens when quick lime is added to water?
It reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide.
What happen when quick lime is added water?
It reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide.
What is the difference between slaked lime and lime water?
When you slake a lime an leave it for a few months, there will be a layer of water (providing you used a sufficient amount) ontop of the slaked lime putty. this water is limewater and is clear but contains tiny particles in suspension. The putty is what we refer to as slaked lime.
Why does rain react with limestone?
its kind of hard to explain. orignaly it dosent react with water (execpt from erosion) until it is made into calcium oxide using a blast furnace the new quick lime then is recated with water to form slaked lime which can be made into lime water by adding even more water. then there is another proces where slaked lime can be turned into limestone again and the whole cycle again. 1) calcium carobante + heat = quick lime + carbon doixide or CaCO3 + heat = CaO + C(O)2 2) quick lime + water = slaked lime CaO + (H)2O = Ca(OH)2
How is lime formed?
Quick lime is obtained by heating (calcining) calcium carbonate. If the CaO obtained is reacted with water it produces slaked lime Ca(OH)2
Will oxygen turn red litmus paper to blue?
Quick Lime solution( in water) is nothing but Quick Lime plus Wter, which is Ca(OH)2, a base which is also known as Lime water. Since it has basic properties, it turns red litmus paper blue
Does any sound is heard or not when solid quick lime and water are added?
A hissing Sunday
