6. Mg(OH)2 -> Mg2+ + 2OH-
As pH = 12.8, pOH = 1.2 which means [OH-] = 10-1.2 = 0.063 M
If 's' is the molar solubility,
Ksp = (s)(2s + 0.063)2 = 1.2 x 10-11
As molar solubility will be really small compared to 0.063, hence 2s + 0.063 = 0.063 approximately
Hence, s(0.063)2 = 1.2 x 10-11
Solving for molar solubility, s = 3 x 10-9 M
7. [delta] G = [delta] H - T[delta] S
For spontaneity, [delta] G must be negative. This is possible at all T if [delta] H is negative and ...
