1. It is possible to dissolve significant amounts of Mg(OH)2 in solutions in which the concentration of either Mg2+ or OH− is very, very small. Explain, using Ksp, why this is the case.   2. Explain why Mg(OH)2 might have very appreciable solubility in 1 M HCl. (Consider the effect of the equilibrium of H2O on the Mg(OH)2 solution reaction.)
