    Ca(OH)2 + H2 stands for CaO2H2 + H2 in order for the H2 to be added the two chemicals must be fused. However, They have not been fused all we've got is the two chemicals sitting together. I know its not really a scientific answer. But, I hope this made a little sense.

    Also the 2 will only be multiplied over the parentheses. the Ca would not be multiplied by 2.
