The solubility of an ionic compound in water can be expressed in terms of the mass that will dissolve in a given volume of water, or in terms of the solubility product, Ksp. If only 0.303 g of Ca(OH)2 dissolves in enough water to give 0.243 L of aqueous solution at a given temperature, what is the Ksp value for calcium hydroxide at this temperature?
