Chapter 19, Problem 77AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Reaction of slaked lime with calcium ion and its solubility product is given. The molar solubility of ${\text{CaCO}}_{\text{3}}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: Solubility product, $K_{\text{sp}}$ is defined as the concentration of ions in a saturated solution where each ion is raised to the power of their coefficients.

To determine: The molar solubility of ${\text{CaCO}}_{\text{3}}$ in water.
