Mg(OH)2 ==> Mg^+2 + 2OH^-
Ksp = (Mg^+2)(OH^-)^2
Kb for NH3 = (NH4^+)(OH^-)/(NH3)
Solve Ksp for OH^-. You now Mg so there is only one unknown. Substitute OH from that calculation into Kb for NH3. You know NH3 and Mg^+2, solve for NH4^+, then convert that molarity to grams NH4Cl. Post your work if you get stuck.
What minimum number of moles of NH4Cl must be added to 1.0 liter of solution that is 0.10 M in Mg(NO3)2 and 1.0 M in NH3 to prevent precipitation of Mg(No3)2?

how do you know Mg?
