Answer:

2NaOH (aq) + CaCl2 (aq) -> 2NaCl(aq) + Ca(OH)2(s)

Formula of precipitate: Ca(OH)2 <em>(s)</em>

Explanation:

First, we do the double replacement reaction to determine our chemical equation between the reactants and products. Once we have our products, with a solubility chart (I added one below) we can determine which of the products is soluble or insoluble.

In this case NaCl is soluble or aqueous (meaning it can dissolve in water) and Ca(OH)2 is insoluble (meaning that when the reactions takes place, these two will form a solid/precipitate)
