25.0mL of a saturated filtered solution of Ca(OH)X2 requires 20.0mL of 0.0400MHCl for neutralisation. Assuming complete dissociation, the solubility product of Ca(OH)X2 from this data is:
A4.10×10−6
B1.64×10−5
C3.28×10−5
D5.12×10−5
Answer: B
OHX− in 25.0mL=0.0400×20.0=0.800 mmol, so [OHX−]=0.032M and [CaX2+]=0.016M. Ksp=[CaX2+][OHX−]2=0.016×(0.032)2=1.64×10−5.
