What coefficients are required to balance the following equation?
Ca(OH)2+HCl→CaCl2+H2O
Ca(OH)2 + HCl→CaCl2 + H2O
As the product CaCl2 has 2 atoms of chlorine. So add 2 moles of HCl.
⇒Ca(OH)2 + 2HCl→CaCl2 + H2O
In reactants, there are 2 moles of oxygen. So, add 2 moles of water on product side.
Ca(OH)2 + 2HCl→CaCl2 + 2H2O [Balanced]
