Answer:
[OH⁻] = 0.167 mol/L
Explanation:
Let's apply Kps to solve this, as the Ca(OH)₂is only slighty solube in water. We imagine that Temperature of working, is 25°C.
Ca(OH)₂ → Ca²⁺ + 2OH⁻ Kps = 5.02x10⁻⁶ (25°C)
s 2s
Kps = 2s³
5.02x10⁻⁶ = 2s³
5.02x10⁻⁶ / 2 = s³ → ∛(5.02x10⁻⁶ / 2) = s
s = 0.013
So [OH⁻] = 0.027 mol/L
Now, we add KOH
[OH⁻] = 3.74x10⁻³ moles / 0.0218 L = 0.14 mol/L
Finally, the concentration of [OH⁻] will be the sum of, hydroxide from Ca(OH)₂ and KOH
0.027 mol/L + 0.14 mol/L = 0.167 mol/L
