The ph of a saturated solution of Ca(OH)2 is 12.35
CALCULATION:
For the reaction
Ca(OH)2 → Ca2+ + 2OH-
we will use the Ksp expression to solve for the concentration [OH-] and then use the acid base concepts to get the pH:
Ksp = [Ca2+][OH-]^2
The listed Ksp value is 5.5 x 10^-6. Substituting this to the Ksp expression, we have
Ksp = 5.5 x 10^-6 = (s) (2s)^2 = 4s^3
s3 = 5.5x10^-6 / 4
Taking the cube root, we now have
s = cube root of (5.5x10^-6 / 4)s
= 0.01112
We know that the value of [OH-] is actually equal to 2s:
[OH-] = 2s = 2 * 0.01112 = 0.02224 M
We can now calculate for pOH:
pOH = - log [OH-]
= -log(0.02224)
= 1.65
Therefore, the pH is
pH = 14 - pOH
= 14 - 1.65
= 12.35

Lookup the atomic weights of the involved elements
Atomic weight potassium = 39.0983
Atomic weight Chlorine = 35.453
Atomic weight Oxygen = 15.999
Molar mass KClO3 = 39.0983 + 35.453 + 3 * 15.999 = 122.5483 g/mol
Moles KClO3 = 87.4 g / 122.5483 g/mol = 0.713188188 mol
The balanced equation for heating KClO3 is
2 KClO3 = 2 KCl + 3 O2
So 2 moles of KClO3 will break down into 3 moles of oxygen molecules.
0.713188188 mol / 2 * 3 = 1.069782282 mols
So we're going to get 1.069782282 moles of oxygen molecules. Since each molecule has 2 atoms, the mass will be
1.069782282 * 2 * 15.999 = 34.23089345 grams
Rounding the results to 3 significant figures gives 34.2 grams</span>
