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:
CaO (s) + H 2 O (l) ⇌ Ca(OH) 2 (aq) (ΔH r = −63.7 kJ/mol of CaO) As it hydrates, an exothermic reaction results and the solid puffs up. The hydrate can be reconverted to quicklime by removing the water by heating it to redness to reverse the hydration reaction.
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.

The atomic (or molar) ratio Ca/Si, CaO/SiO 2, or C/S, and the number of water molecules can vary and the above-mentioned stoichiometry may differ. Many pozzolans may also contain aluminate , or Al(OH) 4 − , that will react with calcium hydroxide and water to form calcium aluminate hydrates such as C 4 AH 13 , C 3 AH 6 or hydrogarnet , or in ...

The dissolution of calcium hydroxide in water is also an exothermic process (ΔH < 0). As dictated by the van 't Hoff equation and Le Chatelier's principle, low temperatures favor dissolution of Ca(OH) 2. Portlandite solubility increases at low temperature. This temperature dependence is sometimes referred to as "retrograde" or "inverse ...
The formula, Cu 2 CO 3 (OH) 2 shows that it is halfway between copper carbonate and copper hydroxide. Indeed, in the past the formula was written as CuCO 3 ·Cu(OH) 2. The crystal structure is made up of copper, carbonate and hydroxide ions. [36] The mineral atacamite is an example of a basic chloride. It has the formula Cu 2 Cl(OH) 3.
