The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
Calcium hydroxide is moderately soluble in water, as seen for many dihydroxides. Its solubility increases from 0.66 g/L at 100 °C to 1.89 g/L at 0 °C. [8] Its solubility product K sp of 5.02 × 10 −6 at 25 °C, [1] its dissociation in water is large enough that its solutions are basic according to the following dissolution reaction:
A volume of 600 m 3 (160,000 US gal) of seawater gives about 1 tonne (2,200 lb) of Mg(OH) 2. Ca(OH) 2 (K sp = 5.02 × 10 −6) [6] is far more soluble than Mg(OH) 2 (K sp = 5.61 × 10 −12) and drastically increases the pH value of seawater from 8.2 to 12.5. The less soluble Mg(OH) 2 precipitates because of the common ion effect due to the OH −
CaCO 3 (s) + CO 2 (g) + H 2 O(l) → Ca(HCO 3) 2 (aq) This reaction is important in the erosion of carbonate rock, forming caverns, and leads to hard water in many regions. An unusual form of calcium carbonate is the hexahydrate ikaite, CaCO 3 ·6H 2 O. Ikaite is stable only below 8 °C.
An aqueous solution containing 120 mg NaHCO 3 (baking soda) per litre of water will contain 1.4285 mmol/l of bicarbonate, since the molar mass of baking soda is 84.007 g/mol. This is equivalent in carbonate hardness to a solution containing 0.71423 mmol/L of (calcium) carbonate, or 71.485 mg/L of calcium carbonate (molar mass 100.09 g/mol).

Electron configuration is also a major factor, illustrated by the fact that the rates of water exchange for [Al(H 2 O) 6] 3+ and [Ir(H 2 O) 6] 3+ differ by a factor of 10 9 also. [4] Water exchange usually follows a dissociative substitution pathway, so the rate constants indicate first order reactions.
