Which of the following best distinguishes a jail from a prison?

If the solubility of Mg(OH)₂ in pure water is 0.58 g/L at a certain temperature, calculate its Ksp. Molar masses: Mg(OH)₂ = 58.33 g/mol;  OH⁻ = 17.01 g/mol;  Mg²⁺ = 24.31 g/mol Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇌ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) Hint: Convert solubility from g/L to mol/L, then use the dissociation equation to express ion concentrations in terms of s.

Balance the following redox reaction in acidic solution (add H⁺ and H₂O as needed). What is the coefficient of Fe²⁺?  Fe²⁺ + Cr₂O₇²⁻→ Fe³⁺ + Cr³⁺
