Mg(oh)2 is a sparingly soluble salt with a solubility product, ksp, of 5.61*10^(-11). it is used to control the ph and provide nutrients in the biological (microbial) treatment of municipal wastewater streams. what is the ratio of solubility of mg(oh)2 dissolved in pure h2o to mg(oh)2 dissolved in a 0.200 naoh solution?

1.72 × 10⁵

Explanation:

Let's consider the reaction for the solubilization of Mg(OH)₂.

Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

To find its solubility in pure water we will use an ICE Map. We recognize 3 stages: Initial, Change and Equilibrium and complete each row with the concentration or change in concentration.

Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

I 0 0

C +S +2S

E S 2S

We can find the value of the solubility (S) from the solubility product Kps.

$Kps=5.61 \times 10^{-11} = [Mg^{2+} ].[OH^{-}]^{2} =S.(2S)^{2} =4S^{3} \\S=2.41 \times 10^{-4}$

To calculate the solubility (S') of Mg(OH)₂ in a 0.200 M NaOH solution, we need to take into account the common ion OH⁻ that comes from NaOH. NaOH is a strong electrolyte.

NaOH(aq) ⇒ Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

I 0.200 0 0

C -0.200 +0.200 +0.200

E 0 0.200 0.200

The initial concentration of OH⁻ for the solubilization of Mg(OH)₂ will be 0.200 M.

Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

I 0 0.200

C +S' +2S'

E S' 0.200 + 2S'

$Kps=5.61 \times 10^{-11} = [Mg^{2+} ].[OH^{-}]^{2}=(S').(0.200+2S')^{2} \\$

In the term (0.200 + 2S'), 2S' is very small so it can be omitted to simplify calculations. Then, S' = 1.40 × 10⁻⁹

The ratio S/S' is 2.41 × 10⁻⁴/1.40 × 10⁻⁹ = 1.72 × 10⁵.

it’s previous models because when i picked that son of a gun’s answer it was wrong look for previous models because they might make it a different letter

the elements that are used in nuclear fission and their products are much heavier than helium.

Two nitro no2 groups are chemically bonded to a patch of surface. they can't move to another location on the surface, but they can rotate (see sketch at right). it turns out that the amount of rotational kinetic energy each no2 group can have is required to be a multiple of ε, where =ε×1.010−24 j. in other words, each no2 group could have ε of rotational kinetic energy, or 2ε, or 3ε, and so forth — but it cannot have just any old amount of rotational kinetic energy. suppose the total rotational kinetic energy in this system is initially known to be 32ε. then, some heat is removed from the system, and the total rotational kinetic energy falls to 18ε. calculate the change in entropy. round your answer to 3 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol.
