Answer:
2.30 × 10⁻⁶ M
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
Concentration of Mg²⁺ ([Mg²⁺]): 0.039 M
Solubility product constant of Mg(OH)₂ (Ksp): 2.06 × 10⁻¹³
Step 2: Write the reaction for the solution of Mg(OH)₂
Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)
Step 3: Calculate the minimum [OH⁻] required to trigger the precipitation of Mg²⁺ as Mg(OH)₂
We will use the following expression.
Ksp = 2.06 × 10⁻¹³ = [Mg²⁺] × [OH⁻]²
[OH⁻] = 2.30 × 10⁻⁶ M
To balance the the chemical reaction, the number of moles
per element is balance is both side of the reaction and also the charge in both
sides of the reation. to balnce the reaction:
S2O3 2- + Cu 2+ ---> S4O6 2- + Cu+
2S2O3 2- + Cu 2+ ---> S4O6 2- + Cu+ + e
