1M NaOH is added to a solution containing 1m Ag+, 1M Al3+, 1M Mg2+, and 1M Mn2+. Given the solubility data shown below which of the following will precipitate first?
Ksp values:
AgOH 1.5x10-8
Al(OH)3 3.7x10-15
Mg(OH)2 1.2x10-11
Mn(OH)2 2.0x10-13
I calculated the molar solubility of each one and got Mg(OH)2 as the lowest, but the answer is A?
Any help would be appreciated, please and thank you.
