Chemical Equilibrium II Magnesium hydroxide. Mg(OH)2, is a white, partially soluble solid that is used in many antacids. The chemical equation for the dissolving of Mg(OH)2(s) in water is Mg(OH)2(s)Mg2+(aq)+2OH(aq) a Describe a simple experimental procedure that you could use to study this solubility equilibrium. In your experiment, how would you determine when the solution process has attained equilibrium? b Write the equilibrium-constant expression for this dissolving of magnesium hydroxide. c Suppose equilibrium has been established in a container of magnesium hydroxide in water, and you decide to add more solid Mg(OH)2.

How do you expect the concentration of the Mg2+(aq) to change?

If you could follow this ion over a long period of time, would you expect it always to remain as an OH(aq) ion, or could it change in some way?
