Answer:
Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)
Explanation:
In chemistry, the net ionic equation is a way to write a chemical reaction whereas you write only the ions that are involved in the reaction.
When calcium chloride, CaCl₂ reacts with sodium hydroxide, NaOH to produce Ca(OH)₂ the only ions involved in the reaction are Ca²⁺ and OH⁻, thus, the balanced net ionic equation is:
<em>Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)</em>
<em>Cl⁻ and Na⁺ are not involved in the reaction and you don't have to write them.</em>
