Ca, they only have two valence electrons, in order to become more stable, they would like to lose all of them
Hope this helps! If you dont understand balancing equations in general, say so in the comments, I’m happy to help
Answer: Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ----------> CaSO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Explanation:
Since this is a neutralization reaction, the end product would be salt and water. In this equation Calcium will displace hydrogen from the acid because it is more reactive, resulting in the formation of CaSO4 (salt), while the displaced H2 molecule combines with OH molecules to form water.
The equation of the reaction is thus;
Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ----------> CaSO4(aq) + H2O(l), in other to balance it, we add ''2'' to the water molecule in the right hand side of the equation.
Balance equation is
Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ----------> CaSO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
