Answer

$Ca_{}(O_{}H_{})_{2}$ --> $Ca_{}O_{}$ + $H_{2}O_{}$

Work Step by Step

1. Write the decomposition of Calcium Hydroxide equation: *Calcium Hydroxide: $Ca_{}(O_{}H_{})_{2}$ *Calcium Oxide: $Ca_{}O$ $Ca_{}(O_{}H_{})_{2}$ --> $Ca_{}O_{}$ + $H_{2}O_{}$ 2. Because both sides have the same amount of each atom, we consider that the equation is balanced.
