1. Compare your experimental value for Ksp of Ca(OH)2 with the literature value (Ksp = 8.0 × 10-6 at 25°C). Account for any difference. (Experimental value: Trial 1- 1.0061824 x 10^-5; Trial 2- 8.001504 x 10^-6). 2. Cite possible sources of error in the experiment. 3. Why must the solution be saturated when its solubility is determined? 4. Is Ca(OH)2 more soluble in aqueous solution containing calcium ions or in pure water? Explain your observation in terms of shift in equilibrium and in terms of the ion product in relation to Ksp.
