Seawater is rich in magnesium. One way to "mine" magnesium from seawater is to precipitate the magnesium ions using hydroxide ions.

If the concentration of Mg2+ ions in seawater is 1.47 g/L, what is the maximum OH- concentration (in M) before Mg(OH)2 starts to precipitate?

Ksp of Mg(OH)2 = 5.6 x 10-12

Please give your answer rounded to 3 significant figures.

Seewater is ryk aan magnesium. Een manier om magnesium uit seewater te "myn" is deur dit te presipiteer met behulp van hidroksiedione.

Indien die konsentrasie van Mg2+ ione in seewater 1.47 g/L is, wat is die maksimum OH- konsentrasie (in M) voordat Mg(OH)2 begin neerslaan?

Ksp of Mg(OH)2 = 5.6 x 10-12

Gee asb jou antwoord afgerond tot 3 beduidende syfers.
