Answer:
2 HC₂H₃O₂(aq) + Sr(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Sr(C₂H₃O₂)₂(aq) + 2 H₂O
Explanation:
Let's consider the reaction between acetic acid and strontium hydroxide. This is a neutralization reaction, in which an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water. The unbalanced equation is:
HC₂H₃O₂(aq) + Sr(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Sr(C₂H₃O₂)₂(aq) + H₂O
We have 1 acetate ion to the left and 2 to the right, so we will multiply HC₂H₃O₂(aq) by 2.
2 HC₂H₃O₂(aq) + Sr(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Sr(C₂H₃O₂)₂(aq) + H₂O
Finally, we multiply water by 2 to get the balanced equation.
2 HC₂H₃O₂(aq) + Sr(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Sr(C₂H₃O₂)₂(aq) + 2 H₂O
