pH calculation from calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂)

Calcium hydroxide is a strong base that dissociates completely in water:

Ca(OH)2 Ca2+ + 2OH

 

Given is a net ion charge of:

0.0270 mol/L

 

Since each unit of Ca(OH)₂ provides two OH⁻ ions, the result is:

[OH] = 0.0270  mol/L

 

From this, we calculate the pOH value:

pOH = log ( 0.0270 ) 1.57

 

And finally:

pH = 14 pOH 12.43

 

Ergebnis: Die Lösung hat einen pH-Wert von ungefähr 12.43.
