How many mg/L of [Mg+2] will remain in a solution that has a hydroxide ion concentration of 0.015 M. The solubility product (Ksp) , at 25 degrees C, for magnesium hydroxide is 1.82 x 10-11. In addition, calculate the pH of the solution. Solution Given Data Hydroxide ion concentration of 0.015 M The solubility product (Ksp) , at 25 degrees C, for magnesium hydroxide is 1.82 x 10-11. By using the K sp expression to calculate the [Mg 2+ ]: K sp = [Mg 2+ ] [OH-] 2 1.82 x 10¯ 11 = (x) (0.015) 2 x = 1.82 * 10¯ 11 / 0.015 = 121.34 * 10¯ 11 M For to the pH of a solution all we need to know the concentration of the hydronium ion in moles per liter The pH is then calculated using the expression: pH = - log [H 3 O + ]. = 1.88 .
