Milk of magnesia is a suspension of magnesium hydroxide in water. Although \( \mathrm{Mg}(\mathrm{OH})_{2} \) is relatively insoluble, a small amount does dissolve in the water, which makes the mixture slightly basic and gives it a \( \mathrm{pH} \) of \( 10.08 \). How many grams of \( \mathrm{Mg}(\mathrm{OH})_{2} \) are actually dissolved in \( 1.4 \) tablespoons of milk of magnesia? \[ \mathrm{g} \mathrm{Mg}(\mathrm{OH})_{2} \]
