Document Summary

The purpose of this lab is to determine the ksp constant of calcium hydroxide through titration of a saturated solution of ca(oh)2. Ksp is the equilibrium constant used when a solid dissolves in water. This is accomplished by titrating the calcium hydroxide solution with hydrochloric acid. A titration was required to determine the mols of hydroxide ions because during the titration one h3o+ ion neutralized one oh- ion3. Furthermore after finding the concentration (mols/ volume of solution) of hydroxide ions it would be easy to find the concentration of the calcium ions due to the 1:2 ratio. From looking at figure one it is evident that the concentration of both calcium and hydroxide is required to find ksp. Furthermore this experiment was conducted to investigate the factors that influence the changes of ksp, specifically looking at temperature. Heating the saturated solution of calcium hydroxide to boiling temperature and then titrating it tested the temperature factor.
