Milk of magnesia is an 'over the counter' pharmaceutical preparation used as a laxative and for heartburn. It can be prepared by saturating water with magnesia (MgO). At 25 °C, a magnesia suspension has a pH of 10.16. Write a balanced equation for the equilibrium between the MgO(s) and the ions it produces in solution. Calculate the equilibrium constant for this reaction at 25 °C. What is the solubility of MgO in water?
