What evidence indicates that Calcium Hydroxide (Ca(OH) 2 ) is a strong base?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Calcium oxide is considered a strong base, because it is gets ionized almost completely. ... Calcium hydroxide aren't very soluble in water. That doesn't matter - what does dissolve is still 100% ionised into calcium ions and hydroxide ions. Calcium hydroxide still counts as a strong base because of that 100% ionisation.
