Calcium chloride reacts with sodium hydroxide to form solid calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2. The balanced net ionic equation is Group of answer choices

Ca+2(aq) + 2OH-(aq) + 2 Na+(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) → Ca(OH)2(s).

Ca+2(aq) + 2OH-(aq) + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) → Ca(OH)2(s).

Ca+2(aq) + 2OH-(aq) → Ca(OH)2(s).

CaCl2(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → CaOH(s) + NaCl(aq).

CaCl2(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Ca(OH)2(s) + 2NaCl(aq).

Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)

Explanation:

In chemistry, the net ionic equation is a way to write a chemical reaction whereas you write only the ions that are involved in the reaction.

When calcium chloride, CaCl₂ reacts with sodium hydroxide, NaOH to produce Ca(OH)₂ the only ions involved in the reaction are Ca²⁺ and OH⁻, thus, the balanced net ionic equation is:

Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)

Cl⁻ and Na⁺ are not involved in the reaction and you don't have to write them.
