Final answer:

The balanced equation for the single displacement reaction between CH3CH₂CO₂H(aq) and Ca(OH)2(aq) is CH3CH₂CO₂H(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) → CH3CH₂CO₂Ca(aq) + H2O(l).

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced equation for the given single displacement reaction between CH3CH₂CO₂H(aq) and Ca(OH)2(aq) is:

CH3CH₂CO₂H(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) → CH3CH₂CO₂Ca(aq) + H2O(l)

In this reaction, the CH3CH₂CO₂H(aq) molecule displaces the OH- ion in Ca(OH)2(aq) to form the product CH3CH₂CO₂Ca(aq) and water (H2O(l)).
