Answer:

2.30 × 10⁻⁶ M

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Concentration of Mg²⁺ ([Mg²⁺]): 0.039 M

Solubility product constant of Mg(OH)₂ (Ksp): 2.06 × 10⁻¹³

Step 2: Write the reaction for the solution of Mg(OH)₂

Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

Step 3: Calculate the minimum [OH⁻] required to trigger the precipitation of Mg²⁺ as Mg(OH)₂

We will use the following expression.

Ksp = 2.06 × 10⁻¹³ = [Mg²⁺] × [OH⁻]²

[OH⁻] = 2.30 × 10⁻⁶ M
