pH = 9 means pOH = 5 and (OH^-) = 1E-5
........Mg(OH)2 ==> Mg^2+ + 2OH^-
Ksp = (Mg^+)(OH^-) = 2.06E-13
Substitute 1E-5 for OH and solve for Mg. That gives solubility in mols/L. Convert to mols/100 mL, the convert mols to grams.
does the 2 in front of the OH^- get corporate into the Ksp making it (OH)^2??
Yes, the OH^- is squared.
2.06E-13 = (Mg^2+)(1E-5)^2
Solve for Mg^2+. I see I made a typo and omitted the square of OH on my first response. It is
Ksp = (Mg^2+)(OH^-)^2 etc. Sorry about that.
