Which of the following effect increases the solubility of Ca(OH)2? O Adding an acidic solution
O Adding KOH
O Adding solid CaCl,
O Adding solid NaOH
O Adding CaCO3

adding an acidic solution

Explanation:

Strong acids dissociate completely in water and the H⁺ ions react with the OH⁻ ions to make H₂O. If we add an acid to our solution of Ca(OH)₂, the acid protons would react with some of the OH⁻ ions and drive the equilibrium to the right. More of the solid Ca(OH)₂ should dissolve.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
