Ca(OH)2 + CO2 → Ca(OH)(HCO3)

Is this equation balanced? ^ I don't think it is, as there are 4 hydrogens on one side and only 2 on the other, but when I put it into the balancing website it says its balanced?

It's balanced. There's 4 O, 2H, 1 Ca, 1 C. on both sides

But isn't there four on the right side, since there's a 3 at the end, or is that 3 only for the O?

anonymous · Answer

the 3 is only for O
