This question is for a laboratory experiment titled "Determination of the Solubility Product Constant of Calcium Hydroxide" where a saturated solution of Ca(OH)2 in water was titrated with HCl.
Part 1 Data - Saturated Solution of Ca(OH)2 in Water:
Volume of Ca(OH)2 aliquot: 25.00mL
Concentration of standard HCl: 0.1342M
Indicator Used: Bromothymol Blue
Average volume of HCl to reach end point: 7.71mL
a. Write a balanced, net ionic equation for the titration reaction. Use this equation to perform the subsequent calculations.
b. Calculate the [OH-] in the standard Ca(OH)2 solution (using the NET ionic equation).
c. Determine the experimental solubility of the Ca(OH)2 (in mol/L).
d. Determine the experimental Ksp of Ca(OH)2.
Please explain steps/show equations! Thank you.
