[20 Points!] The solubility product constant of calcium hydroxide is 6.5 x 10^-6. If 0.10 mol of sodium hydroxide is added to 1 L of 0.0010M Ca(OH)2, what is the final concentration of the calcium ion? Show your work.

For Ca(OH)2, Ksp = [Ca2+][OH-]^2
You have your Ksp as 6.5 x 10^-6. Your [OH-] comes almost entirely from the 0.10 mol of NaOH, since Ca(OH)2 barely dissolves. Your [OH-] is therefore 0.10 M (since you have 1 L of solution).

6.5 x 10^-6 = [Ca2+](0.10)^2
Solve for [Ca2+]:
6.5 x 10^-6 / (0.10)^2 = [Ca2+]
[Ca2+] = 0.00065 M

The maximum concentration of [Ca2+] is 0.00065 M, and you have 0.0010 M Ca(OH)2, so you’ll end up with 0.00065 M Ca2+ in solution.

Rethink and reinvent

I’d have to say no because without oxygen in the water the fish would all be dead. so if you want to fish for dead fish, pick the ponds with the lowest oxygen concentrations.
