Calculate the solubility product of calcium hydroxide given that the solubility of Ca(OH)₂(s) in water at 25 $\circ$ C is 0.011 M.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The solubility product Ksp for Ca(OH)2 is calculated using the formula Ksp = [Ca^2+][OH^-]^2. Given the solubility of Ca(OH)2 is 0.011 M, [Ca^2+] = 0.011 M and [OH^-] = 2 * 0.011 M = 0.022 M. Therefore, Ksp = (0.011)(0.022)^2 = 5.3 * 10^-6.
