1. Identify the Ions:
* Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) dissociates into one calcium ion (Ca²⁺) and two hydroxide ions (OH⁻).
2. Determine the Total Number of Moles of Ions:
* For every 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂:
* You get 1 mole of Ca²⁺ ions.
* You get 2 moles of OH⁻ ions.
* This means a total of 1 + 2 = 3 moles of ions.
3. Calculate for the Given Amount:
* You have 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂.
* Since there are 3 moles of ions per mole of Ca(OH)₂, you have a total of 2 * 3 = 6 moles of ions.
Therefore, there are 6 moles of ions in 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂.
