Question

how do you balance the following equation of neutralization :
calcium hydroxide by hydrochloric acid

Answer 1

you first convert the names of the reactants to chemical formulas.

Next finish the equation/reaction. i.e. predict the products formed

then you need to assign coefficients in front of the formulas to get the same number of atoms on both sides.

The coefficients work in a distributive fashion, for example

\(3~Fe_2O_3\) means 6 Fe and 9 O
