Magnesium can be found in drinking water at concentrations of less than 20 ppm or 0.00082 M or 8.2E-4 M. For an analysis of a water sample, the pH is to be increased to precipitate magnesium hydroxide. At what pH will Mg(OH), be expected to precipitate with this Mg* concentration? The Ksp of Mg(OH)2 is 5.61x10-12. Use the corresponding Ksp expression and pOH equation. Note that you probably have to convert pOH to pH. Do not forget that the hydroxide ion concentration is raised to an exponent of 2.
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
