Calculate the molar solubility of  Mg(OH)2

  1. in water
  2. in 0.25M NaOH(aq)
### Acid Dissociation Constants (Ka):

- **HF (Hydrofluoric acid):** \( K_a = 7.1 \times 10^{-4} \)
- **HNO₂ (Nitrous acid):** \( K_a = 4.5 \times 10^{-4} \)
- **HCOOH (Formic acid):** \( K_a = 1.7 \times 10^{-4} \)
- **HC₃H₆O₃ (Lactic acid):** \( K_a = 1.4 \times 10^{-4} \)
- **CH₃CH₂COOH (Propionic acid):** \( K_a = 1.3 \times 10^{-5} \)
- **CH₃COOH (Acetic acid):** \( K_a = 1.8 \times 10^{-5} \)
- **C₆H₅COOH (Benzoic acid):** \( K_a = 6.3 \times 10^{-5} \)
- **HCN (Hydrocyanic acid):** \( K_a = 4.9 \times 10^{-10} \)

### Base Dissociation Constants (Kb):

- **CH₃NH₂ (Methylamine):** \( K_b = 4.4 \times 10^{-4} \)
- **NH₃ (Ammonia):** \( K_b = 1.8 \times 10^{-5} \)
- **C₅H₅N (Pyridine):** \( K_b = 1.7 \times 10^{-9} \)

### Solubility Product Constants (Ksp):

- **PbCl₂ (Lead(II) chloride):** \( K_{sp} = 1.7 \times 10^{-5} \)
- **CuCl (Copper(I) chloride):** \( K_{sp} = 1.9 \times 10^{-7} \)
- **Mg(OH)₂ (Magnesium hydroxide):** \( K_{sp} = 1.8 \times 10^{-11} \) 

This table provides valuable constants used for calculating the degree of ionization of acids and bases in solution, and for determining the solubility of compounds in aqueous solutions.
