Question 19 of 26
>
aqueous solutions of calcium chloride and sodium hydroxide are mixed together, forming solid calcium hydroxide and aqueous sodium chloride.
write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction. phases are optional.
equation:

2NaOH(aq) + CaCl₂(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + Ca(OH)₂(s)

Explanation:The equation for the reaction between calcium chloride and sodium hydroxide to form calcium hydroxide and aqueous sodium chloride is given by;

       2NaOH(aq) + CaCl₂(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + Ca(OH)₂(s)

It is an example of precipitation reaction in which a precipitate is formed as one of the products.During precipitation two aqueous solution combine to form a insoluble salt and a soluble salt.
