The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows;
Ca(OH)₂ + 2HBr --> CaBr₂ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of Ca(OH)₂ to HBr is 1:2
number of Ca(OH)₂ moles reacted - 0.10 mol/L x 0.1000 L = 0.010 mol
Number of HBr moles added - 0.10 mol/L x 0.4000 = 0.040 mol
1 mol of Ca(OH)₂ needs 2 mol of HBr for neutralisation
therefore 0.010 mol of Ca(OH)₂ needs - 0.010 x 2 = 0.020 mol of HBr to be neutralised
but 0.040 mol of HBr has been added therefore number of moles of HBr in excess - 0.040 - 0.020 = 0.020 mol
then pH of the medium can be calculated using the excess H⁺ ions
HBr is a strong acid therefore complete ionization
[HBr] = [H⁺]
[H⁺] = 0.020 mol / (100.0 + 400.0 mL)
= 0.020 mol / 0.5 L
= 0.040 mol/L
pH = -log[H⁺]
pH = - log [0.040 M]
pH = 1.40
pH of the medium is 1.40

Answer:
a) Unsaturated
b) Supersaturated
c) Unsaturated
Explanation:
A saturated solution contains the <u>maximum amount of a solute that will dissolve in a given solvent at a specific temperature</u>.
An unsaturated solution contains <u>less solute than it has the capacity to dissolve. </u>
A supersaturated solution, <u>contains more solute than is present in a saturated solution</u>. Supersaturated solutions are not very stable. In time, some of the solute will come out of a supersaturated solution as crystals.
According to these definitions and considering that the solubility of KCl in 100 mL of H₂O at <u>20 °C is 34 g</u>, and at <u>50 °C is 43 g</u> we can label the solutions:
a) 30 g in 100 mL of H₂O at 20 °C ⇒ unsaturated
b) 65 g in 100 mL of H₂O at 50 °C ⇒ supersaturated
c) 42 g in 100 mL of H₂O at 50 °C and slowly cooling to 20 °C to give a clear solution <u>with no precipitate</u> ⇒ unsaturated (if it were saturated it would have had precipitate)
