  • Calculating Moles of Ions in Calcium Hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂)
    Here's how to break down the calculation:

    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.
