Answer:
H^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) —> H2O(l)
Explanation:
We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction.
2HCl(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) —> CaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Ca(OH)2 is a strong base and will dissociates as follow:
Ca(OH)2(aq) —> Ca^2+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq)
HCl is a strong acid and will dissociates as follow:
HCl(aq) —> H^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq)
Thus, In solution a double displacement reaction occurs as shown below:
2H^+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) + Ca^2+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) —> Ca^2+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) + 2H2O(l)
To get the net ionic equation, cancel out Ca^2+ and 2Cl^-
2H^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) —> 2H2O(l)
H^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) —> H2O(l)
