**Part A**

Calculate the solubility (in grams per \(1.00 \times 10^2\) mL of solution) of magnesium hydroxide in a solution buffered at pH = 12.

Express your answer to two significant figures.

**\[ S_1 = 1.2 \times 10^{-8}\ \text{g} / (1.00 \times 10^2 \ \text{mL}) \]**

**Solution**

Begin by writing the reaction by which solid Mg(OH)₂ dissolves into its constituent aqueous ions:

\[ \text{Mg(OH)}_2(s) \rightarrow \text{Mg}^{2+}(aq) + 2\text{OH}^-(aq) \]

Write the equilibrium expression for \(K_{sp}\):

\[ K_{sp} = [\text{Mg}^{2+}][\text{OH}^-]^2 \]

The solubility of Mg(OH)₂ depends on the concentration of OH⁻ ions. The calculation of the OH⁻ ion concentration is summarized in the hint for this part (\([\text{OH}^-] = 1.0 \times 10^{-2} \text{M}\)). In a buffered solution, \([\text{OH}^-]\) remains constant, and therefore, the molar solubility of Mg(OH)₂ equals \([\text{Mg}^{2+}]\):

\[ [\text{Mg}^{2+}] = \frac{K_{sp}}{[\text{OH}^-]^2} = \frac{2.6 \times 10^{-13}}{(1.0 \times 10^{-2})^2} = 2.1 \times 10^{-9}\ \text{M} \]

Then convert the molar solubility to g per 100 mL:

\[ S_1 = 100\ \mu L \times \frac{1.2 \times 10^{-9}\ \text{mol Mg(OH)}_2}{1\ L} \times \frac{58.33\ \text{g Mg(OH)}_2}{\text{1 mol Mg(OH)}_2} \]

\[ S_1 = 1.2 \times 10^{-8}\ \text{g Mg(OH)}_2/100\ \text
