JEE Main2010ChemistryIonic EquilibriumActual
At 25^ C , the solubility product of Mg ( OH )₂ is 1.0 10⁻¹¹ . At which pH , will Mg ²⁺ ions start precipitating in the form of Mg ( OH )₂ from a solution of 0.001 M Mg ²⁺ ions ?
Options
- A9
- B10
- C11
- D8
Correct answer
B. 10
Step-by-step solution
Mg ²⁺+2 OH ⁻ Mg ( OH )₂ ~K _ sp = [ Mg ²⁺ ] [ OH ⁻ ]^2 [ OH ⁻ ]= K _ sp [ Mg ²⁺ ] =10⁻⁴ p ^ OH =4 and p ^ H =10
