Question

The concentration of Mg2+ in seawater is 0.053 M. At what pH will 99% of the Mg2+ be precipitated as the hydroxide salt? (Ksp for Mg(OH)2 = 8.9 ✕ 10−12. Assume that all solutions are at 25°C.)

 

I have tried solving for the pOH and then subtracting that from 14 to find the pH, but it is wrong everytime.  I don't understand where I'm going wrong.
