Answered by GPT-4o mini
The reaction between calcium chloride (CaCl₂) and sodium oxide (Na₂O) can be classified as an ionic reaction that produces calcium oxide (CaO) and sodium chloride (NaCl).

The unbalanced equation for the reaction is:

\[ \text{CaCl}_2 + \text{Na}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{CaO} + \text{NaCl} \]

To balance the equation, we need to ensure that there are equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides of the equation.

Here's the balanced equation:

\[ \text{CaCl}_2 + \text{Na}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{CaO} + 2 \text{NaCl} \]

In this balanced equation:
- There is 1 Ca atom on both sides.
- There are 2 Cl atoms on both sides.
- There are 2 Na atoms on both sides.
- There is 1 O atom on both sides.

Therefore, the balanced reaction is:

\[ \text{CaCl}_2 + \text{Na}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{CaO} + 2 \text{NaCl} \]
