74g of calcium hydroxide will yield OH ions:
Correct answer: B. 34g
- A. 178
- B. 34g
- C. 51g
- D. 40g
Explanation
74g of Ca(OH)2 equals 1 mole since the molar mass is 74 g/mol. The dissociation of Ca(OH)2 produces 2 moles of OH ions for every mole of Ca(OH)2. Each OH ion has a molar mass of 17g/mol, so 2 moles produce 34g of OH ions (17g/mol x 2). Thus, the correct answer is 34g. Options 178g, 51g, and 40g do not match the stoichiometric calculation for the amount of hydroxide ions produced from the dissociation of 74g of Ca(OH)2.

About Moles and Avogadro's Number
The mole connects the microscopic number of particles with measurable mass, using Avogadro's number, 6.022 × 10²³ particles per mole. Questions involve molar mass, conversion between mass, moles and particles, percentage composition, empirical and molecular formulas, and distinguishing atoms, molecules, ions and formula units.
