Best Answer

CaOH2 is a base because calcium is compounded with hydroxide, rather than hydrogen. Most if not all acids' names begin with 'H', while most if not all bases' names end with 'OH'.

What is the acid and base of 2hf caoh2-----caf2 2h2o?

2hf + caoh2 = CaF2 + 2H2O Acid is 'hf' ; hydrofluoric acid Base is 'caoh2' ; calcium hydroxide. NB When writing chemcial formula , single letter symbols are ALWAYS a CAPITAL letter. Two letter symbols are always ; first letter is a capital letter and the secons letter is small case. This is the internationally agreed standard. Otherwise confusion reigns. So 'hf' should be 'HF' (Hydrogen(H) and Fluorine(F) 'caoh"' should be 'Ca(OH)2' ( Calcium (Ca) , Oxygen (O) and Hydrogen (H)). The suffix '2' indicates that there are two hydroxide anions, which are shown in brackets. As written by yourself 'caoh2' indicates 1 x calcium , 1 x oxygen and 2 x hydrogen. Hope that helps for future reference!!!!
