Calculate how many times more soluble Mg(OH)2 is in pure water Based on the given value of the Ksp, 5.61×10−11, calculate the ra

tio of solubility of Mg(OH)2 dissolved in pure H2O to Mg(OH)2 dissolved in a 0.130 M NaOH solution.
molar solubility in water = 2.41 x 10^-4

Answer:

molar solubility in water = 2.412 * 10^-4  mol/L

molar solubility of NaOH in 0.130M = 3.32 * 10^-9 mol/L

Mg(OH)2 is a factor 0.73*10^5 more soluble in pure water than in 0.130 M NaOH

Explanation:

The Ksp refers to the partial solubilization of a mostly insoluble salt. This is an equilibrium process.

 

The equation for the solubilization reaction of Mg(OH)2 can be given as:

 

Mg(OH)2 (s) → Mg2+ (aq) + 2OH– (aq)

 Ksp can then be given as followed:

Ksp = [Mg^2+][OH^–]²  

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the solubility in water

Mg(OH)2 (s) → Mg2+ (aq) + 2OH– (aq)

The mole ratio Mg^2+ with OH- is 1:2

So there will react X of Mg^2+ and 2X of OH-

The concentration at equilibrium will be XM Mg^2+ and 2X OH-

Ksp = [Mg^2+][OH^–]²  

5.61*10^-11 = X * (2X)² = X *4X² = 4X³

 X = <u>2.412 * 10^-4 mol/L = solubility in water</u>

<u>Step 3</u>: Calculate solubility in 0.130 M NaOH

The initial concentration of Mg^2+  = 0 M

The initial concentration of OH- = 0.130 M

The mole ratio Mg^2+ with OH- is 1:2

So there will react X of Mg^2+ and 2X +0.130 for OH-

The concentration at equilibrium will be XM Mg^2+ and 0.130 + 2X OH-

The value of "[OH–] + 2X" is, because the very small value of X, equal to the value of [OH–] .

Let's consider:

[Mg+2] = X

[OH] = 0.130

Ksp = [Mg^2+][OH^–]²  

5.61*10^-11 = X *(0.130)²  

5.61*10^-11 = X * (0.130)^2

X = <u>3.32*10^-9 = solubility in 0.130 M NaOH </u>

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate how many times Mg(OH)2 is better soluble in pure water.

(2.412*10^-4)/ (3.32*10^-9) = 0.73 * 10^5

Mg(OH)2 is a factor 0.73*10^5 more soluble in pure water than in 0.130 M NaOH
