Question
A sample of solid Ca(OH)2 was stirred in water at a certain temperature until the solution contained as much dissolved Ca(OH)2 as it could hold. A 450-mL sample of this solution was withdrawn and titrated with 0.315 M HI. It required 35.5 mL of the acid solution for neutralization.

What is the solubility of Ca(OH)2 in water, at the experimental temperature, in grams of Ca(OH)2 per liter of solution?
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

Volume of Ca(OH)2, V1  =450 mL=450×10-3L=0.450 L

Molarity of Ca(OH)2  M1= to find

Valency factor  of Ca(OH)2 ,Vf1= 2 (i.e number of OH- given by Ca(OH)2 ).

and Molarity of HI , M20.315 M

Volume of HI V235.5mL=0.0355 L

Valency factor  of HI,Vf2 = 1 ( i.e number of H+ given by HI)
