You use the solubility product constant to calculate the solubility of a sparingly soluble electrolyte like calcium hydroxide.

The solubility product constant for Ca(OH)₂ is 5.5 × 10⁻⁶.
The balanced chemical equation is
Ca(OH)₂(s) ⇌ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)
I/mol·L⁻¹: -; 0; 0
C/mol·L⁻¹: -; +
E/mol·L⁻¹: -;
Solubility =
