A key step in balancing chemical equations is correctly identifying the formulas of the reactants and products. For example, consider the reaction between calcium oxide, CaO(s), and H₂O(l) to form aqueous calcium hydroxide. (a) Write a balanced chemical equation for this combination reaction, having correctly identified the product as Ca(OH)₂(aq). (b) Is it possible to balance the equation if you incorrectly identify the product as CaOH(aq), and if so, what is the equation?
