Question

Part G

MgCl2(aq) and KOH(aq). If a solid forms when solutions containing these salts are mixed, write the ionic equation.

Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer. Enter noreaction if no solid is formed.

Says my answer is incorrect and there is an error in my submission and make sure you formatted it properly. Please help I don't know how else to formate!

Part H

MgCl2(aq) and KOH(aq). If a solid forms when solutions containing these salts are mixed, write the net ionic equation.

Explanation / Answer

Molecular equation of the reaction between   MgCl2(aq) and KOH(aq) is

MgCl2 (aq) + 2 KOH (aq) ? Mg(OH)2 (s) + 2 KCl (aq)

To get the net ionic equation we need first to get the total ionic equations.

We can only break up the molecules that are aqueous
So total ionic equation is:

Mg2+ + 2Cl- +2K+ + 2OH- ?Mg(OH)2 (s) + 2K+ + 2 Cl-

See the both sides of the equation Cl and Na appears in the same form twice and are called spectator ions.

Net ionic equation is:-

Mg2+ + 2OH- ? Mg (OH)2 (S)
