![**Question 2 of 20: Balancing Chemical Equations**
**Problem Statement:**
Balance the following chemical equation (if necessary):
\[ \text{Ca(C}_2\text{H}_3\text{O}_2\text{)}_2\text{(aq) + Na}_2\text{CO}_3\text{(aq) } \rightarrow \text{ CaCO}_3\text{(s) + NaC}_2\text{H}_3\text{O}_2\text{(aq)} \]
**Interface Explanation:**
- The interface displays a keypad with elements and symbols used for balancing chemical equations.
- Chemical formulas are shown in red, while numbers and other symbols are in white or highlighted in red for interaction.
- Buttons labeled with chemical components (e.g., NaC₂H₃O₂, Ca(C₂H₃O₂), etc.) are available for selection.
- State symbols are included: (s) for solid, (l) for liquid, (g) for gas, and (aq) for aqueous.
- Additional options include reset, navigation, and selection buttons.
**Instructions for Use:**
1. Utilize the keypad to add coefficients to balance the chemical equation.
2. Use the compound buttons for quick insertion into the equation.
3. Reset the equation at any time if an incorrect balance is attempted.
4. Use navigation arrows to review changes.
**Additional Resources:**
