Answer:
Ksp = 2.74 x 10⁻⁵
Explanation:
The solubility equilibrium for Ca(OH)₂ is the following:
Ca(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)
I 0 0
C + s + 2s
E s 2s
According to the ICE table, the expression for the solubility product constant (Kps) is:
Ksp = [Ca²⁺] x ([OH⁻])² = s x (2s)² = 4s³
Then, we calculate Ksp from the solubility value (s):
s = 0.019 M
⇒ Ksp = 4s³ = 4 x (0.019)³ = 2.74 x 10⁻⁵
You can determine an element based on its protons due to the atomic number.
Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom and you can locate it on your periodic table as the number above the letter. Each element has a different number of protons and because of that you can find the element on the periodic table based on its atomic number.
