What's up chemistry?

A saturated calcium hydroxide solution is prepared. 25mL of this solution is titrated with 0.05mol/L hydrochloric acid and 23.75mL are required for completed neutralization. Calculate the solubility product of calcium hydroxide.

    OH-_H+ = H2O

    moles of HCl (H+) at the equivalence point = 0.05 mol / L* 0.025L = 0.00125 moles

    moles of OH - at the equivalence point = 0.00125 moles because of the above equation

    Mg(OH)2 = Mg2+ +2OH-

    in the saturated solution we have 0.00125 moles of OH-

    so we will have 0.000625 moles of Mg2+ ( in the solubility equation Mg2+ : OH- = 1:2)

    Ksp = [Mg2+] * [OH-]^2

    = 0.000625 * (0.00125)^2 = 9.76 *10^-10 .... there is your answer
