Ca(OH) 2 has a K sp of 5.5 10 5 , whereas K sp for Mg(OH)
Question:
Ca(OH)2 has a Ksp of 5.5 × 10−5, whereas Ksp for Mg(OH)2 is 5.6 × 10−12. Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction
Ca(OH)2(s) + Mg2+(aq) ⇄ Ca2+(aq) + Mg(OH)2(s)
Explain why this reaction can be used in the commercial isolation of magnesium from seawater.
