Answer:
The net ionic equation will be MgCl₂ + 2 NaOH → Mg(OH)₂ + 2 NaCl
Explanation:
Ionization of MgCl₂ is as follows
MgCl₂ → Mg²⁺ + 2 Cl⁻
Ionization of NaOH is as follows
NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻
It is a one type of substitution reaction where OH⁻ combined with Mg²⁺ to give magnesium hydroxide .
On the other hand Cl⁻ combined with Na⁺ to give sodium chloride as product.
Using proper stoichiometry to balanced the number of atoms in both side .
