Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, is a strong base. A 0.30M solution of calcium hydroxide has a hydroxide ion concentration (to two significant figures) of M.

Solution

The formula for calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, shows that each formula unit produces one calcium ion and two hydroxide ions. Therefore, a 0.30 M solution of calcium hydroxide will produce twice as many hydroxide ions.

To calculate the hydroxide ion concentration, you simply multiply the molarity of the calcium hydroxide by the number of hydroxide ions it produces:

0.30 M * 2 = 0.60 M

So, the hydroxide ion concentration of a 0.30 M solution of calcium hydroxide is 0.60 M.
