Answer:

[tex]S=5.6\times 10^{-9}\ M[/tex]

Explanation:

[tex]Mg(OH)_2[/tex] will form its respective ions in the solution as:

Consider the ICE take for [tex]Mg(OH)_2[/tex] as:

                                     Mg(OH)₂         ⇄        Mg²⁺ + 2OH⁻

At t =equilibrium                                              S            2S            

Where, S is the molar solubility

The expression for Solubility product of [tex]Mg(OH)_2[/tex] is:

[tex]K_{sp}=[Mg^{2+}][OH^-]^2[/tex]

Given that:

pH = 12.50

Also, pH + pOH = 14  

So, pOH = 14 - 12.50 = 1.5

[tex]pOH=-log(OH^-)[/tex]

[tex][OH^-]=10^{(-1.5)}=0.03162[/tex]

So, Total [OH⁻ ] = S + 0.03162

[tex]K_{sp}=5.6\times 10^{-12}[/tex]

So,

[tex]5.6\times 10^{-12}=S\times {(S + 0.03162)}^2[/tex]

Since, S is very small, So, S + 0.03162 ≅ 0.03162

Thus,

[tex]5.6\times \:10^{-12}=S\times \left(\:0.03162\right)^2[/tex]

[tex]S=\frac{5.6}{10^{12}\times \:0.0009998244}[/tex]

[tex]S=5.6\times 10^{-9}\ M[/tex]

The molar solubility of [tex]Mg(OH)_2[/tex] in a basic solution with a pH of 12.50 is:- [tex]5.6\times 10^{-9}\ M[/tex]

The study of chemicals is called chemistry. The ions only form in an ionic compound. The ionic compound is the strongest compound.

The correct answer is [tex]5.6*10^{-9}[/tex].

The ions of magnesium hydroxide are as follows:-

  • Cation -[tex]mg^{2+}[/tex]
  • Anion - OH-

What is equilibrium constant?

  • The equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction is the value of its reaction quotient at chemical equilibrium.
  • A state approached by a dynamic chemical system after sufficient time has elapsed at which its composition has no measurable tendency towards further change

The formula used to solve the question is as follows:-[tex]Ksp = [Mg{^2+}][OH]^{2}[/tex]

The data is given as follows:-

pH = 12.50 pH + pOH = 14

hence, pOH = 14 - 12.50 = 1.5

so,

[tex]5.6*10^{-12} \\= S+ (0.3162)^2\\\\S \\=\frac{5.6}{10^{12}*0.0009998244}[/tex]

After solving the equation, the correct answer is [tex]5.6*10^{-9}[/tex]
