The molar solubility of C a ( O H ) 2 C a ( O H ) 2 was experimentally determined to be 0.019 M. Based on this value, what is the K s p K s p of C a ( O H ) 2 C a ( O H ) 2 ?

Answer:

Ksp = 2.74 x 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

The solubility equilibrium for Ca(OH)₂ is the following:

  Ca(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

I                          0                0

C                       + s               + 2s

E                        s                   2s

According to the ICE table, the expression for the solubility product constant (Kps) is:

Ksp = [Ca²⁺] x ([OH⁻])² = s x (2s)² = 4s³

Then, we calculate Ksp from the solubility value (s):

s = 0.019 M

⇒ Ksp = 4s³ = 4 x (0.019)³ = 2.74 x 10⁻⁵

The Ksp value of Ca(OH)2 is [tex]2.74 \times 10^-^5[/tex].

What is Ksp value?

The Ksp is the solubility product constant.

The solubility equilibrium is

[tex]Ca(OH)_2(s) = Ca^2^+(aq) + 2 OH^-(aq)[/tex]

I                     0                  0

C                     s               +2s

E                     s                 2s

By the ICE table, the expression for Ksp is

[tex]\rm Ksp = [Ca^2^+] \times ([OH^-])^2 = s \times (2s)^2 = 4s^3[/tex]

Now, calculate the Ksp

s, solubility value is 0.019 M

then, [tex]\rm Ksp = 4s^3= 4 \times (0.019)^3 = 2.74 \times 10^-^5[/tex]

Thus, the Ksp value is [tex]2.74 \times 10^-^5[/tex]
