What is the formula of magnesium sulfate and ammonia?
My work:MgSO4 + 2NH4OH --> (NH4)2SO4 + Mg(OH)2
Correct/Balance the equation below.
MgSO4 + NH4OH → (NH4)2SO4 + Mg(OH)2
My work:MgSO4 + 2NH4OH --> (NH4)2SO4 + Mg(OH)2
Correct/Balance the equation below.
MgSO4 + NH4OH → (NH4)2SO4 + Mg(OH)2

Also what is reaction between magnesium sulfate and ammonia? I think its a Double-replacment reaction.

If you want to balance what you've written it is
MgSO4 + 2NH4OH ==> (NH4)2SO4 + Mg(OH)2 and you are correct that what you have written is a double replacement reaction.
Technically that is not correct because NH4OH does not exist. Ammonia is NH3 gas and if you have a solution of NH3 it is NH3(aq). It is correct to write that NH3 + H2O ==> NH4^+ + OH^-
So you could write
MgSO4 + 2NH3 + 2H2O ==> Mg(OH)2 + (NH4)2SO4 or you could write it as
MgSO4 + 2NH4^+ + 2OH^- ==>Mg(OH)2 + (NH4)2SO4
I don't think there will be a reaction between MgSO4 and ammonia gas.
MgSO4(s) + NH3(g) ==> No Reaction.
