MgCl2 is magnesium chloride , and is a 'chemical salt'.
A chemical salt is a substance that has a metal cation(M^(n+)), and a acidic functional group as the anion(A^(n-)).
Some more chemical salts.
Sodium chloride
Potassium nitrate
Calcium sulphate
Strontium nitrate.
Rubidium phosphate
Sodium ethanoate ( acetate).
NB There are many more chemical salts.
MgCl2 is a salt composed of magnesium and chloride ions. It is not an acid or a base.
Neither, MgCl2 is to be considered a neutral salt.
When magnesium oxide is put in hydrochloric acid, it will react to form magnesium chloride and water. The chemical reaction can be represented as: MgO + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + H2O. This reaction is a classic example of an acid-base reaction where the base (MgO) reacts with the acid (HCl) to form a salt (MgCl2) and water.
Reaction: Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) ----> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g) The products formed are Hydrogen gas H2(g), resulting in fizzing as the gas forms bubbles and is released, and Magnesium Chloride MgCl2(aq) compound. The compound (salt) produced is MgCl2 and the element produced is Hydrogen.

MgCl2 is a salt composed of magnesium and chloride ions. It is not an acid or a base.
No. MgCl2 is a salt of a strong acid and a strong base, therefore it is neutral.
Neither, MgCl2 is to be considered a neutral salt.

when an acid and a base combine, salt and water are formed. This process of reaction of an acid and base is called neutralisation.
acid + base → salt + water
NO!!!! Remember the general acid reaction equations. Acid + Base = Salt +Water Acid +Alkali = Salt + Water Acid +Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.
Acid + base salt + water
Here are the four general acid reactions. Acid + Base = Salr + Water Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soliuble base.
When a base reacts with an acid, they form a salt and water. The salt is the result of the neutralization reaction between the acid and base, where the H+ ions from the acid combine with the OH- ions from the base to form water, leaving behind the salt compound.
