Mg(OH ) 2 is a sparingly soluble compound, in this case a base,
with a solubility product, K sp , of 5.61× 10 −11 . It is used to
control the pH and provide nutrients in the biological (microbial)
treatment of municipal wastewater streams.
Part C - Calculate how many times more soluble Mg(OH)2
is in pure water
Based on the given value of the Ksp , calculate the
ratio of solubility of Mg(OH)2 dissolved in pure H2O to Mg(OH)2...
