How do you complete the equation $M {g (O H)}_{2} (s) + 2 H C l (a q) \to_{_} (a q) + 2 H_{2} O (l)$ $Mg(OH)_2(s) + 2HCl(aq) -> __(aq) + 2H_2O(l)$ ?

$M {g (O H)}_{2} (s) + 2 H C l (a q) \to M g C l_{2} (a q) + H_{2} O (l)$ $Mg(OH)_2(s) + 2HCl(aq)rarrMgCl_2(aq) + H_2O(l)$

This is simply an acid-base reaction, which we may represent by the balanced net ionic reaction:

$M {g (O H)}_{2} (s) + 2 H^{+} \to M g^{2 +} + 2 H_{2} O (l)$ $Mg(OH)_2(s) + 2H^(+) rarr Mg^(2+) + 2H_2O(l)$

Charge is conserved, as well as mass........What does this mean?

How do you complete the equation Mg(OH)_2(s) + 2HCl(aq) -> __(aq) + 2H_2O(l)Mg(OH)2(s)+2HCl(aq)→_(aq)+2H2O(l)Mg(OH)_2(s) + 2HCl(aq) -> __(aq) + 2H_2O(l)?
