Probset for Experiment 8 General Instruction: Write your answers in a bluebook. I. Multiple Choice: Write the letter of the best answer (1.5 point each) 1. Which of the following concerning Ca(OH)2(s) is true? I. II. III.
[ ]

IV. A. I, II B. I, III C. II, III D. III, IV 2. This reagent facilitates faster drying of the Ca(OH)2 precipitate and the removal of excess OH- ions that adheres to the precipitate. A. ethanol B. KCl solution C. deionized water D. none of the choices 3. Diverse-on effect ______ solubility of Ca(OH)2 as ionic strength _______, while solubility ________ as the concentration of common-ion _________. A. decreases, decreases, increases, increases B. increases, increases, decreases, decreases C. decreases, decreases, increases, decreases D. increases, increases, decreases, increases II. Modified TRUE or FALSE: Write TRUE if the statement is true. If its not, change the underlined statement/phrase to make the statement correct (2 pts each). Half Simultaneous equilibrium True 1. The solubility of Ca(OH)2 is equal to twice the equilibrium concentration of [OH-] 2. Turbidity in the solution upon addition of Ca(OH)2 suggests dynamic equilibrium. 3. Ca(OH)2 will be more soluble in 0.1 M MgCl2 solution than in 0.2 M KCl solution.

III. Cause and Effect: Determine the effect of the condition on the parameter inside the parenthesis (2 pts each). Not affected Increase Not affected Increase Decrease 1. Volumes of Ca(NO3)2 and NaOH used for synthesis was increased (experimental Ksp of calcium hydroxide) 2. The distilled water used in preparing the Ca(OH)2 suspension had a pH of 5.5 (experimental molar solubility of calcium hydroxide) 3. Calcium hydroxide was added to 0.1 M CaCl2, instead of 0.1 M Ca(NO3)2 (volume of titrant needed to reach the endpoint) 4. The 25-mL aliquot used in titration was contaminated with Ca(OH)2 precipitate (thermodynamic Ksp of calcium hydroxide) 5. A student added too much of 1% phenolphthalein (e.g. 1.5 mL) indicator in the titration of a Ca(OH)2 solution (endpoint volume)

IV. Problem Solving: Answer the following problem. Show complete solution and box your final answer. A calcium hydroxide suspension was prepared in 100 mL 0.1 M KCl. The suspension was filtered through a Whatman filter paper. 25 mL of the supernate was transferred to an Erlenmeyer flask containing 15 mL of distilled water. The solution in the flask was then titrated using 1.0 M HCl as titrant and phenolphthalein as indicator. A faint pink endpoint was reached when 15.5 mL of the titrant had been added. (Ksp = 5.02 x 10-6) Calculate: a. The ionic strength of the solution in the Erlenmeyer flask, prior to titration b. The [OH-] in the Erlenmeyer flask solution c. The [OH-] in 25 mL of the supernate d. The solubility of calcium hydroxide in the presence of 0.1 M KCl
