Chapter 9, Problem 9.127E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as to why $\text{Ca}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_{\text{2}}$ is a strong base is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

A basic solution is a solution which produces ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions in solution. A strong base is a substance that undergoes complete dissociation to produce the metal cation and ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ anion. A weak base is a substance which gets partially dissociated. Basic substances have pH more than $7$.
