Q8 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (30 Jan Shift 1) · Chemistry

The pH at which Mg(OH)2 Ksp=1×10-11 begins to precipitate from a solution containing 0.10M Mg2+ ions is ______.

Correct answer: 09

Solution

Precipitation when Q=Ksp

Q=Reaction quotient, it is the ratio of products to reactants at any time of reaction.

Ksp=Solubility product.

MgOH2⇋Mg2++2OH-

Mg2+OH-2=10-11

0.1×OH-2=10-11⇒OH-=10-5

⇒pOH=5  ⇒pH=14-5=9

Hence, the correct answer is 09.
