Question

Calcium hydroxide, ${C a (O H)}_{2}$ , has a lower solubility in water than some of the other Group II hydroxides ( $K_{s p} = 4.0 \times 10^{- 6}$ at $25^{\circ} C$ ). In a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide at this temperature, what is the concentration of calcium ions?

Solution

The correct option is C $1.0 \times 10^{- 2}$
$C a (O H)_{2} ⟶ s C a^{2 +} + 2 s 2 (O H^{-})$
$K_{s p} = [s] [2 s]^{2} = 4 s^{3}$
$∴ 4 \times 10^{- 6} = 4 s^{3}$
$∴ s^{3} = 10^{- 6}$
$⟹ s = 10^{- 2}$
Hence, the concentration of calcium ions $= s = 1 \times 10^{- 2}$ $M$

Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, has a lower solubility in water than some of the other Group II hydroxides (Ksp=4.0×10−6 at 25∘C ). In a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide at this temperature, what is the concentration of calcium ions?

The correct option is C 1.0×10−2Ca(OH)2⟶sCa2++2s2(OH−)Ksp=[s][2s]2=4s3∴4×10−6=4s3∴s3=10−6⟹s=10−2Hence, the concentration of calcium ions =s=1×10−2 M

$K_{s p} = [s] [2 s]^{2} = 4 s^{3}$
