Good luck with this endeavour ...... it is chemically UNREASONABLE.

Explanation:

Magnesium hydroxide is fairly insoluble in water, Ksp=5.61×1012..which corresponds to a solubility of approx. 10mgL1.

On the other hand we could make a solution of magnesium chloride with a concentration of 1.25molL1.

And so we take a mass of 1.25mol×95.2g MgCl2..and place this mass in a 1L volumetric flask, and make it up to volume....

Concentration×VolumeMoles

And mass=number of moles×molar mass

1.25mol×95.2gmol11.0L = 119g.....WITH RESPECT to MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE, i.e. I have altered the boundary conditions of your problem.
