The solubility product of Mg(OH)2_2 at 25 °C is Ksp=1.8×10−11K_{sp}=1.8\times10^{-11}. What is the approximate molar solubility of Mg(OH)2_2 in a solution buffered and maintained at pH 12? (Assume activity coefficients are 1 and the pH remains constant as the solid dissolves.) a) 1.6×10−4 M1.6\times10^{-4}\,\text{M} b) 1.8×10−9 M1.8\times10^{-9}\,\text{M} c) 1.8×10−7 M1.8\times10^{-7}\,\text{M} d) 5.3×10−4 M5.3\times10^{-4}\,\text{M}
