Complete and balance the following neutralization reaction:
Ca(OH)2(aq) + HCIO3 -->
What are the products of this reaction before balancing?
CaClO3 and H2O
Ca2CO3 and H20
O Cal and CIO30H
Ca(ClO3)2 and H20
no reaction

Answer 1

Ca(ClO₃)₂ and H₂O

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a neutralization reaction between chloric acid and calcium hydroxide, water must be formed.

Ca(OH)₂ + 2 HClO₃ --> Ca(ClO₃)₂ + 2 H₂O
