The K of Mg(OH) in water is 1.2 × 10–11 sp 2
mol3/L3. If the Mg2+ concentration in an acid solution is 1.2 × 10–5, what is the pH at which Mg(OH)2 just begins to precipitate?
A.3 B.4 C.5 D. 11
The answer is D (11) but I do not understand the explanation. How would you do this question in a timely manner if presented on MCAT?
