What is the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of calcium with water?
gpt
Ca + 2H2O >> Ca(OH)2 + H2 is the correct equation, however Ca + H2O >> CaO + H2 is slightly incorrect, CaO + H2 isn't the products for the reaction of calcium with water. The correct products are Ca(OH)2 and  H2.
Explanation: Calcium reacts vigorously with water to produce calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
