  • question_answer
    The solubility product of \[Mg{{(OH)}_{2}}\] is \[{{10}^{-14}}\]. The solubility of \[Mg{{(OH)}_{2}}\] in a buffer solution of \[pH=8\] is

    A) \[{{10}^{-8}}\]

    B) \[{{10}^{-6}}\]

    C) \[{{10}^{-2}}\]           

    D) \[{{10}^{-4}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[Mg{{(OH)}_{2}}\,M{{g}^{2+}}\,+2O{{H}^{-}}\]
    \[{{K}_{sp}}=[M{{g}^{2+}}]{{[O{{H}^{-}}]}^{2}}\]
    \[1\times {{10}^{-14}}=[M{{g}^{2+}}]\,{{[{{10}^{-6}}]}^{2}}\]
    \[\because \]       \[pH=8\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[[{{H}^{+}}]={{10}^{-8}}\,mol\,{{L}^{-1}}\].
    and       \[[O{{H}^{-}}]={{10}^{-6}}\,\,mol\,\,{{L}^{-1}}]\]
    \[[M{{g}^{2+}}]=\frac{{{10}^{-14}}}{{{10}^{-12}}}={{10}^{-2}}mol\,{{L}^{-1}}\]
    Solubility \[[M{{g}^{2+}}]={{10}^{-2}}\,mol\,\,{{L}^{-1}}\]
