Answers
GPT-4o mini
When magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a precipitate of magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂) can form. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
\[
\text{MgCl}_2 + 2 \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{Mg(OH)}_2 (s) + 2 \text{NaCl}
\]
In this reaction, magnesium hydroxide is insoluble in water and appears as a white precipitate. So, yes, a precipitate is formed when magnesium chloride reacts with sodium hydroxide.
