$2 C_{17} H_{35} C O_{2}^{-} N a^{+} (a q) + C a C l_{2} (a q) \to {(C_{17} H_{35} C O_{2})}_{17}^{-} C a^{2 +} (s) ⏐ ⏐ ↓ + 2 N a C l (a q)$ $2C_17H_35CO_2^(-)Na^(+)(aq) + CaCl_2(aq) rarr (C_17H_35CO_2)_2^(-)Ca^(2+)(s)darr +2NaCl(aq)$

Explanation:

Is charge balanced? Is mass balanced? Both conditions must be satisfied if the equation is stoichiometrically balanced, and in all chemical transformations both mass and charge are balanced.
