Write a balanced chemical equation (smallest integer coefficients possible) for the reaction between an acid and a base that leads to the production of Ca(ClO4)2(aq). Use the pull-down boxes for states. Give the names of the acid, the base, and the salt.

2HClO4(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) → Ca(ClO4)2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Perchloric acid + Calcium hydroxide → Calcium perchlorate + Water.

Explanation:

This is a neutralization reaction where the acid, Perchloric acid reacts completely with an appropriate amount of base, aqueous Calcium hydroxide to produce salt, aqueous Calcium perchlorate and water, liquid H2O only.

During this reaction, the hydrogen ion, H+, from the HClO4 is neutralized by the hydroxide ion, OH-, from the Ca(OH)2 to form the water molecule, H2O.

Thus, it is called a neutralization reaction.
