Assuming x moles of calcium carbonate dissolve, the equilibrium concentrations of Ca2+ and CO3^2- ions will also be x. Substituting these values into the Ksp expression:
4.8 x 10^5 = x * x
Solving for x:
x = √(4.8 x 10^5) = 692.82
Therefore, the solubility of calcium carbonate in water at 25 °C is approximately 692.82 g/L.
2. The solubility of calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, in g/L can be calculated using the Ksp expression:
Ksp = [Ca2+][OH-]^2
Assuming x moles of calcium hydroxide dissolve, the equilibrium concentrations of Ca2+ and OH- ions will also be x. Substituting these values into the Ksp expression:

Show me the steps!
Certainly! Here are the step-by-step calculations for each question:
1. Calculating the solubility of calcium carbonate in water at 25 °C:
The given Ksp for calcium carbonate is 4.8 x 10^5.
Let's assume that x moles of calcium carbonate dissolve in water. This means that the equilibrium concentrations of Ca2+ and CO3^2- ions will also be x.
The Ksp expression for calcium carbonate is: Ksp = [Ca2+][CO3^2-]
Plugging in the values:
4.8 x 10^5 = x * x
Simplifying:
4.8 x 10^5 = x^2
Taking the square root of both sides:
x = √(4.8 x 10^5)
x ≈ 692.82
Therefore, the solubility of calcium carbonate in water at 25 °C is approximately 692.82 g/L.
2. Finding the solubility of calcium hydroxide in water at 25 °C:
The given Ksp for calcium hydroxide is 4.0 x 10^-6.
Let's assume that x moles of calcium hydroxide dissolve in water. Therefore, the equilibrium concentrations of Ca2+ and OH- ions will also be x.
The Ksp expression for calcium hydroxide is: Ksp = [Ca2+][OH-]^2
Plugging in the values:
4.0 x 10^-6 = x * (2x)^2
Simplifying:
4.0 x 10^-6 = 4x^3
Solving for x
