Refer to the explanation.

Explanation:

Ethanoic acid is the systematic name for acetic acid #("CH"_3"COOH")#. The formula for calcium hydroxide is #"Ca(OH)"_2"#.

Balanced equation:

#"2CH"_3"COOH + Ca(OH)"_2"##rarr##"Ca(CH"_3"COO)"_2 + "2H"_2"O"#

Balanced word equation:

Two moles of ethanoic acid (acetic acid) react with one mole of calcium hydroxide to produce one mole of calcium acetate and two moles of water.

This is a neutralization reaction, which is a type of double replacement reaction. In general:

#"acid + metal hydroxide"##rarr##"salt + water"#
