Determination of the solubility of calcium hydroxide Aim I am aiming to determine the solubility of calcium hydroxide. Calcium hydroxide is an alkali and limewater is a saturated solution of it, therefore I can titrate it against an acid of whose concentration I know. Using this information I will be able to accurately estimate the concentration of the calcium hydroxide solution. I will be provided with limewater, which has an approximate concentration of 0.015 mol dm-3 and a solution of hydrochloric acid which has a known concentration of 0.3 mol dm-3. The concentration of the acid is too high so it will need to be diluted. Material Quantities Concentration of the acid Hydrochloric Acid + Limewater --> Calcium Chloride + Water Ca(OH)2 + 2HCl --> 2CaCl + 2H2O By observing the above equation I know that the calcium hydroxide reacts with the HCl in the ration 1:2, with the concentrations of the solutions at 0.015 and 0.3...
