How many moles of ions are one mole of Ca(OH)2?

the questions starts with: the ions present in Ca(OH)2 are Ca2+ and OH -.





the second part of the questions is how many moles of electrons are in 1 mole of OH minus ions.





Please show me how u did it and what it is that you are doing. THank you very much. Use the above info to answer the question.

How many moles of ions are one mole of Ca(OH)2?
Ca(OH)2 --%26gt; Ca^2+ + 2OH-





From 1 mol of Ca(OH)2, 1 mol of Ca^2+ ions and 2 mol OH- ions are produced, for a total of 3 mol ions.





1 mol OH- has 1 mol electrons, if we're only counting the electron that gives rise to the charge. If we're counting total electrons in OH-, then O has 8, H has 1, and there is 1 electron giving the charge, for a total of 10 electrons in OH-.


Then 1 mol OH- has 10 moles of electrons.
