Call aspirin, HA.
HA ==> H^+ + A^-
Ka = (H^+)(A^-)/(HA)
Set up an ICE chart, substitute into the Ka expression and solve for (H^+), then convert to OH^-.
Mg(OH)2 ==> Mg^+2 + 2OH^-
1.5 x 10^-9 M is less than the solubility of Mg(OH)2; therefore, this should be the (Mg^+2). Twice that will be the concn of OH^-.
