Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)₂, is slightly soluble in water. Aqueous calcium hydroxide is also known as limewater. A student measures the concentration of saturated aqueous calcium hydroxide using the following method. step 1 Add a spatula measure of solid calcium hydroxide to 250 cm³ of distilled water in a conical flask. Stopper the flask and shake the flask thoroughly. step 2 Leave the flask stoppered for 24 hours. step 3 Filter the aqueous calcium hydroxide into a clean, dry beaker. step 4 Transfer 25.00 cm³ of the aqueous calcium hydroxide to a clean conical flask. step 5 Carry out a titration with 0.100 mol dm⁻³ hydrochloric acid. step 6 Record the volume of hydrochloric acid required to react with the aqueous calcium hydroxide.
