a sol. of slaked lime produced by the reaction Cao + H2O = Ca(OH)2 is used for white washing walls since olden times. calcium hydroxide reacts slowly with the CO2 in air to form a thin layer of calcium carbonate on the walls.Calcium Carbonate is formed after 2 to 3 day of white washing and gives a shiny finish to walls.It is interesting to note that marble is also Calcium Carbonate.

Ca(OH)2 + CO2 = CaCO3 + H2O
