Hey guys so I ran into a question that stated.....
Which of the following represents the solubility product of Ca(OH)i when it is the byproduct of the reaction between calcium hypochloritc and water?
I wrote out the eq
Ca(OH)2 --> Ca^+2 + (OH^-)2
so I ended up with Ksp = [Ca] [2OH]^2
but apparently it's wrong and its actually Ksp = [Ca] [OH]^2
why is that?
