Calculate the solubility of Mg(OH)2 in water at 25 C. You'll find Ksp data in the ALEKS Data tab. Round your answer to significant digits.

1.12 × 10⁻⁴ M

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the reaction for the solution of Mg(OH)₂

Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

Step 2: Make an ICE chart

We can relate the solubility product constant (Ksp) with the solubility (S) through an ICE chart.

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

I                                0                    0

C                              +S                +2S

E                                S                  2S

The solubility product constant is:

Ksp = 5.61 × 10⁻¹² = [Mg²⁺] × [OH⁻]² = S × (2S)² = 4S³

S = 1.12 × 10⁻⁴ M

"hydrogen bonding is the attraction of h atoms in the water molecule (slight + charge) to o atoms in a neighboring water molecule (slight - charge); it is a weak interatomic force. but it is still strong enough to the water molecules "stick" together."

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
