The concentration of hydrogen ion in a solution left after mixing 100 ml of 0.1 MgCl2 and 100 ml of 0.2 M NaOH. [KSP[Mg(OH)2]=12×10−11] is
A
2.8×10−3
B
2.8×10−2
C
2.8×10−4
D
2.8×10−5
Answer
2.8×10−4
Explanation
Solution
MgCl2100+2NaOH200→Mg(OH)2010+2NaCl020
Thus 10 mili mole of Mg(OH)2 is formed
The ionic product
[Mg2+][OH−]2=[20010]×[20020]2=5×10−4which is more than Ksp of Mg(OH)2 .Now solubility (s) of Mg(OH)2 can be derived by
Ksp = 4s3
Mg(OH)2SMG2+S2OH−2 S
∴S=31.2×10−11=1.4×10−4∴[OH]=2s=2.8×10−4
