Solution

The correct option is D. 9.04
The expression for the solubility product is given below:

Ksp=[Mg+2][OH]2

Ksp=([Mg2+][OH−]2K_{sp} = (\left [ Mg^{2+} \right ]\left [OH^- \right ]^2

Therefore

[Mg2+][OH]2=1.2×1011

Substituting values in the above expression, we get

1.2×1011=0.10×[OH]2

[OH]2=1.2×1010

[OH]2=1.2×1010=1.09×105\

pOH=log[OH]=log[1.09×105]=4.96

pH=14pOH=144.96=9.04

1.2×1011=0.10×[OH−]21.2\times10^{11}=0.10\times\left[OH^-\right]^2
