Question: (A) Should Mg(OH) 2 (s) precipitate from a solution that is 0.010 M MgCl 2 (aq) and also 0.10 M NaCH 3 COO? K sp

(A) Should Mg(OH)2(s) precipitate from a solution that is 0.010 M MgCl2(aq) and also 0.10 M NaCH3COO? Ksp[Mg(OH)2] = 1.8 x 10-11; Ka(CH3COOH) = 1.8 x 10-5. What equilibrium expression establishes [OH-] in the solution?

(B) Will a precipitate of Fe(OH)3 form from a solution that is 0.013 M Fe3+ in a buffer solution that is 0.150 M CH3COOH and 0.250 M NaCH3COO?
