Milk of magnesia is a suspension of magnesium hydroxide in water. Although Mg(OH)2 is relatively insoluble, a small amount does dissolve in the water, which makes the mixture slightly basic and gives it a pH of 10.08. How many grams of Mg(OH)2 are actually dissolved in 4.5 tablespoons of milk of magnesia?
