Answer #1

concentration of Mg2+ = 100 x 6.8 x 10^-4 / 100 + 100

                                    = 3.4 x 10^-4 M

concentration of OH- = 100.0 x 1.2 x 10^-4 / 100 + 100

                                   = 6.0 x 10^-5 M

Mg(OH)2   --------------> Mg2+ +   2 OH-

Q = [Mg2+][OH-]^2

   = (3.4 x 10^-4) (6.0x 10^-5)^2

Q = 1.2 x 10^-12

the ion product for Mg(OH)2 is 1.2 x 10^-12 . since Q is less than Ksp.

Mg(OH)2 will not form precipitate.
