Balanced Chemical Equation – Solution
2HC2H3O2 + Ca(OH)2 → Ca(C2H3O2)2 + 2H2O
The coefficients show the number of particles (atoms or molecules), and the indices show the number of atoms that make up the molecule. New substances are formed as a result of the rearrangement of the original atoms. As a result of a chemical reaction, atoms of chemical elements do not disappear anywhere and new ones do not appear, their number remains unchanged – this follows from the law of conservation of mass of substances.

| HC2H3O2 + Ca(OH)2 = Ca(C2H3O2)2 + HOH |
| HC2H3O2 + Ca(OH)2 = (CH3CO2)2Ca + H2O |
| Ca(C2H3O2)2 + H2O = C2H4O2 + Ca(OH)2 |
| Ca(C2H3O2)2 + H2O = Ca(OH)2 + HC2H3O2 |
| Ca(C2H3O2)2 + H2O = CaO + HC2H3O2 |
| Ca(C2H3O2)2 + H2O = HC2H3O2 + Ca(OH)2 |
| Ca(C2H3O2)2 + H2O = CaO + H(C2H3O2) |
| HC2H3O2 + Ca(OH)2 = H2O + C4H6O4Ca |
