Math Problem Statement
The solubility of the calcium hydroxide produced us 0.185g/100mL at 0*C. Expressed as a molar solubility what is the concentration per mmol/L
Solution
To find the molar solubility of calcium hydroxide in mmol/L, we will go through the following steps:
-
Determine the molar mass of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂):
- Calcium (Ca) has a molar mass of approximately 40.08 g/mol.
- Oxygen (O) has a molar mass of 16.00 g/mol, and there are two hydroxide ions (OH⁻), each with 1 oxygen and 1 hydrogen.
- Hydrogen (H) has a molar mass of approximately 1.01 g/mol.
-
Calculate the molar solubility in mol/L:
- We know that 0.185 g of Ca(OH)₂ is soluble in 100 mL of water.
- Convert this to moles using the molar mass.
Simplifying:
-
Convert mol/L to mmol/L:
- Since 1 mol/L = 1000 mmol/L, we convert the result:
Answer:
The molar solubility of calcium hydroxide at 0°C is approximately 2.496 mmol/L.

Formulas
Molar mass calculation: Molar mass of Ca(OH)₂ = mass of Ca + 2 × (mass of OH)
Molarity formula: Molarity (mol/L) = (grams of solute / molar mass) × (1000 mL / volume in mL)
Conversion from mol/L to mmol/L: mmol/L = mol/L × 1000
