Question

Write molecular, complete ionic, and net ionic equations for the reactions that occur, if any, when solutions of the following substances are mixed: acetic acid and calcium hydroxide.

Answer 1

The molecular formula that describes the problem is
2CH3COOH (aq) + Ca(OH)2 (s) ---> Ca(CH3COO)2 (aq) + 2H2O (l)

The net equation is written as follows:
2CH3COOH- (aq) + 2H+ (aq) + Ca(OH)2 (s) ---> Ca2+ (aq) + 2 CH3COO- (aq) + 2H2O (l)
canceling out spectator ions
2H+ (aq) + Ca(OH)2 (s) ---> Ca2+ (aq) + 2 H2O (l)
