Problem

A 25.0 mL25.0\,\text{mL} sample of 0.0050 M0.0050\,\text{M} MgCl2\mathrm{MgCl_2} is diluted to 1.00 L1.00\,\text{L} with deionized water. The solubility product of Mg(OH)2\mathrm{Mg(OH)_2} at 25 ∘C25\,^\circ\text{C} is Ksp=1.8×10−11K_{\text{sp}}=1.8\times10^{-11}. Calculate the pH at which Mg(OH)2\mathrm{Mg(OH)_2} will just begin to precipitate from the resulting solution.
