So we have all heard that like dissolves like, but I have a question from aamc cbt 5 that confuses me when applying this concept.
Which of the following will occur if the acidity of a saturated solution of ca(oh)2 is increased?
a) Ksp will decrease and additional ca(oh)2 will dissolve.
b) The Ksp will be unchanged and additional ca(oh)2 will dissolve
c) The ksp will decrease and additional ca(oh)2 will precipitate
d) The Ksp will be unchanged and additional ca(oh)2 will precipitate
I understand the Ksp will remain unchanged, but I don't conceptually understand the latter part of the answer. Thanks in advance for the help guys!!
