Answer:

Ca(OH)2______CaO + H2O

Step-by-step explanation:

looking at the equation it is balanced so this is the right equation for the reaction

you probably might be wondering how I got their compound formula right?

well its simple

for calcium hydroxide you have

calcium ____Ca^2+

hydroxide ____OH^- note those charges are their valency

so the valencies cross to be a sub scripts

so we have

Ca(OH)2

same is applicable to others

that's all
