Answer
Adding 
contributes 
ions into the solution, driving the reaction to the left, and decreasing the solubility of the calcium hydroxide. This is known as the common-ion effect. The 
remains unchanged. This is due to the fact that only a change in temperature can bring about a change in an equilibrium constant.
