Just about the only thing you could get from mixing ionic solutions like this that don't contain any acids is a precipitate. So let's look at the possible combinations of cations and anions we could get: 1. Na+ and SO42- 2. Mg2+ and CO32- Even though sulfate is known to form precipitates from time to time, the first combination will not form a precipitate. Sodium (and all the alkali metals) are soluble with just about every anion. Carbonate is notoriously insoluble with compounds, and so you do get a precipitate from the second combination. That precipiate is MgCO3.
