If 1.2 ·10^-14 moles of magnesium hydroxide, mg(oh)2, are dissolved in 1.0 l of aqueous solution, what are [oh-] and [h30+]?

1. [OH⁻] = 2.4 x 10⁻¹⁴ M.

2. [H₃O⁺] = 4.167 x 10⁻¹ M.

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate the molarity of Mg(OH)₂:

M = (no. of moles of solute)/(V of the solution (L).

∴ M of MgCl₂ = (no. of moles of solute)/(V of the solution (L) = (1.2 x 10⁻¹⁴ mol)/(1.0 L) = 1.2 x 10⁻¹⁴ M.

1. [OH⁻]:

Mg(OH)₂ → Mg²⁺ + 2OH⁻.

∴ [OH⁻] = 2(1.2 x 10⁻¹⁴) = 2.4 x 10⁻¹⁴ M.

2. [H₃O⁺]:

∵ [H₃O⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.

∴ [H₃O⁺] = 10⁻¹⁴/[OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴/(2.4 x 10⁻¹⁴ M) = 4.167 x 10⁻¹ M.

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.
