25oC is 4.5 x 10^-3 mol L-1. The solubility product, Ksp, of MgCO3 at
25oC is?

Please show workings on how you acheived the answer. Cheers :)

Magnesium carbonate MgCO3 6.82×10-6

p.s. I think that since the Ksp is 6.82*10^-6, therefore the
solubility is the square root of 6.82*10-6, since Ksp=[Mg][CO3]. 
Therefore the solubility is not 4.5 x 10^-3, but is actually 2.6 x
10^-3

however, assuming you are correct, and paying for this ;), if the
solubility is 4.5 x 10^-3, therefore [mg]=4.5 x 10^-3 and [CO3]=4.5 x
10^-3, and
Ksp=[Mg][CO3]Ksp=(4.5 x 10^-3)^2 = 2.025 X 10^-5
