The correct Answer is:
To find the ratio of moles of `Mg(OH)₂` and `Al(OH)₃` in a 1L saturated solution, we will use their solubility products (`K_sp`) and the dissociation equations for both compounds. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the dissociation equations:** - For Magnesium Hydroxide: \[ Mg(OH)_2 \rightleftharpoons Mg^{2+} + 2OH^{-} \] - For Aluminum Hydroxide: \[ Al(OH)_3 \rightleftharpoons Al^{3+} + 3OH^{-} \] 2. **Define solubility:** - Let the solubility of `Mg(OH)₂` be \( x \) moles/L. - Then, the concentration of `Mg^{2+}` ions will be \( x \) and the concentration of `OH^{-}` ions from `Mg(OH)₂` will be \( 2x \). - Let the solubility of `Al(OH)₃` be \( y \) moles/L. - The concentration of `Al^{3+}` ions will be \( y \) and the concentration of `OH^{-}` ions from `Al(OH)₃` will be \( 3y \). 3. **Total concentration of `OH^{-}` ions:** - The total concentration of `OH^{-}` ions in the solution will be: \[ [OH^{-}] = 2x + 3y \] 4. **Write the expressions for \( K_{sp} \):** - For `Mg(OH)₂`: \[ K_{sp} = [Mg^{2+}][OH^{-}]^2 = x(2x)^2 = 4x^3 \] Given \( K_{sp} = 4 \times 10^{-12} \): \[ 4x^3 = 4 \times 10^{-12} \implies x^3 = 10^{-12} \implies x = 10^{-4} \] - For `Al(OH)₃`: \[ K_{sp} = [Al^{3+}][OH^{-}]^3 = y(3y)^3 = 27y^4 \] Given \( K_{sp} = 1 \times 10^{-33} \): \[ 27y^4 = 1 \times 10^{-33} \implies y^4 = \frac{1 \times 10^{-33}}{27} \implies y^4 = \frac{10^{-33}}{27} \implies y = \left(\frac{10^{-33}}{27}\right)^{1/4} \] \[ y = \frac{10^{-33/4}}{3^{3/4}} = \frac{10^{-8.25}}{3^{0.75}} \approx 10^{-8.25} \times 0.33 \approx 3.3 \times 10^{-9} \] 5. **Calculate the ratio of moles:** - Now we have \( x = 10^{-4} \) and \( y \approx 3.3 \times 10^{-9} \). - The ratio of moles of `Mg(OH)₂` to `Al(OH)₃` is: \[ \frac{x}{y} = \frac{10^{-4}}{3.3 \times 10^{-9}} \approx \frac{10^{-4}}{3.3 \times 10^{-9}} \approx 3.03 \times 10^{5} \] 6. **Adjust the ratio as per the question:** - The question asks to report the answer by multiplying by \( 10^{-18} \): \[ 3.03 \times 10^{5} \times 10^{-18} = 3.03 \times 10^{-13} \] ### Final Ratio: - The final ratio of moles of `Mg(OH)₂` to `Al(OH)₃` is approximately \( 3.03 \times 10^{-13} \).

To find the ratio of moles of `Mg(OH)₂` and `Al(OH)₃` in a 1L saturated solution, we will use their solubility products (`K_sp`) and the dissociation equations for both compounds. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the dissociation equations:** - For Magnesium Hydroxide: \[ Mg(OH)_2 \rightleftharpoons Mg^{2+} + 2OH^{-} ...
