Question

The $p H$ at which $M g {(O H)}_{2}$ begins to precipitate from a solution containing $0.10 M$ ${M g}^{2 +}$ ions. $K_{{s p}_{M g {(O H)}_{2}}} = 10^{- 11}$ is _______.

Solution

For the just precipitation of $M g {(O H)}_{2}$ from a solution having $[{M g}^{2 +}] = 0.10 M$

$K_{s p} = [{M g}^{+}] {[{O H}^{-}]}^{2}$

$1 \times 10^{- 11} = [0.1] {[{O H}^{-}]}^{2}$

$∴$ $[{O H}^{-}] = 10^{- 5} M$

or $p O H = 5$

$∴$ $p H = 14 - p O H = 14 - 5 = 9$
