Chemistry · Ionic equilibrium: Weak and strong electrolytes, ionization of electrolytes

When _{2} \) attains solubility equilibrium, the:

When \( C a(O H)_{2} \) attains solubility equilibrium, the:

  • A. solution is saturated
  • B. \( p H \) will be less than 7
  • C. trial \( K_{s p} \) is less than the \( K_{s p} \)
  • D. concentrations of the ions are equal

Step-by-step solution

At solubility equilibrium, the solution is saturated with the solute, meaning no more solute can dissolve. For Ca(OH)2, at equilibrium, the solution is saturated. Option B is incorrect because Ca(OH)2 is a base, so pH > 7. Option C is incorrect because at equilibrium, the trial Ksp equals Ksp. Option D is incorrect because the dissociation produces Ca2+ and 2 OH-, so concentrations are not equal.
