Ca+2 C2H3O2-1 <---- these are the ions and their charges
Ca+2 C2H3O2-1 C2H3O2-1 <----- the charges have to add up to zero, so two -1 acetate ions cancel out one +2 calcium ion
Ca(C2H3O2)2 <----- simplify

∙ 10y agoThe formula is Ca(C2H3O2)2, because calcium forms divalent cations and the charge of the acetate anion is a monovalent one. The part of the formula inside the parentheses can be written in alternative fashion, for example, C2H3OO, to emphasize the fact that one of the oxygen atoms is doubly bounded to one of the carbon atoms, while the other oxygen atom is only singly bonded to the same carbon atom.

Is magnesium acetate a calcium compound?
No. In order to be a calcium compound, it must have calcium in it. Magnesium Acetate is made up of magnesium, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Acetate is an ion with the chemical formula, C2H2O2 (technically CH2COO- due to the fact that it's a carboxylate), two carbon, two hydrogen and two oxygen atoms. So no, there is no calcium atoms present.
What is the name of the compound with the formula Al CH3COO 3?
Ca(CH3COO)2 is the chemical formula of calcium acetate.
