Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The formation of the solvent formed when $0.15\text{g}$ of ${\text{Ca(OH)}}_2$ is added to $100.0\text{g}$ of water at $\text{10°C}$ is to be described.

Concept Introduction:

Solubility is the property of a substance in its solid or liquid or gaseous state called solute to dissolve in a liquid (also in solid or gas) called the solvent. A solute dissolved in a solvent gives a solution. The amount of solute dissolved in a solvent depends on the structure, temperature and pressure of the solute and attractive force between solute and solvent. Solubility of a solute is the maximum amount of the solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent at a given temperature.
