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.
