Question

pls balance the following chemical equation asap; Ca(OH)2 +CO2 = CaCO3+ H2O​ pls make it step by step

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Start by writing water as HOH

Ca(OH)2 +CO2 = CaCO3+ HOH

Next pay attention to the CO2 going to CO3

We need an oxygen.

Fortunately that is provided by the (OH)2

Now we have

Ca(OH)2 + CO2 ==> CaCO3 + HOH

and believe it or not, that is balanced as it is

The left side has 1 Ca. So does the right side

The Left side has 1 C.  So does the right side.

The left side has 2 H. So does the right side

The left side has 2 oxygens (in Ca(OH2)) + 2 oxygens in CO2

So the equation is balanced.
