df is almost correct -- right basic idea, but he has drawn propanioc acid.
Ca(OH)2 + 2 H3C-COOH ===> Ca(OOCCH3)2 + 2 H2O
Ethanoic acid is also more commonly known as acetic acid, so you've made calcium acetate.

ethanoic acid is acetic acid CH3COOH
Ca(OH)2 + 2CH3COOH = (CH3 COO)2 Ca + 2H2O
it is an acid - base reaction give salt (calcium acetate) and water

* the reaction is
Ca(OH)2 + CH3CH2COOH -> CH3CH2COOCa + H2O,
but you have to balance it first.....
