  1. Answer:

    pH = 10.75

    Explanation:

    To solve this problem, we must find the molarity of [OH⁻]. With the molarity we can find the pOH = -log[OH⁻]

    Using the equation:

    pH = 14 – pOH

    We can find the pH of the solution.

    The molarity of Ca(OH)₂ is 2.8×10⁻⁴M, as there are 2 moles of OH⁻ in 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂, the molarity of [OH⁻] is 2*2.8×10⁻⁴M = 5.6×10⁻⁴M

    pOH is

    pOH = -log 5.6×10⁻⁴M

    pOH = 3.25

    pH = 14-pOH

    pH = 10.75
