Neither, MgCl2 is to be considered a neutral salt.

∙ 13y agoMagnesium fluoride is a salt, as it is formed by the reaction between magnesium, a metal, and fluoride, a non-metal. It does not act as an acid or a base in typical chemical reactions.

Magnesium Chloride is a acid or a base....
Potassium fluoride is a salt, not an acid or base. It is formed from the reaction between potassium hydroxide (a base) and hydrofluoric acid (an acid).
Sodium fluoride is neither an acid nor a base. It is a salt composed of the sodium cation (Na+) and the fluoride anion (F-).
Magnesium acetate is not a base, it is a salt that is formed from the reaction between magnesium hydroxide (a base) and acetic acid (a weak acid). Magnesium acetate is a neutral salt.
Magnesium bromide is a salt, not a base. It is formed by the reaction between magnesium oxide (a base) and hydrobromic acid to produce magnesium bromide and water.
Potassium fluoride is not a base. It is a salt composed of potassium cations and fluoride anions. It is considered a neutral compound, not an acid or a base.

Neither. Strictly speaking it is a very weak base. A Magnesium Nitrate solution is neutral with a pH of 7.0. Salts of strong acids are neutral. Magnesium Nitrate is salt of Nitric acid which is very strong acid.
Epsom salt, in fact, does not contain any table salt. A "salt", technically, is a strong base bonded with a strong acid. Epsom salt is Magnesium Sulfate, or MgSO4. Magnesium is a base and Sulfate is an acid.
MgCl2 is a salt composed of magnesium and chloride ions. It is not an acid or a base.
Was: the composition of epsom salt is magnesium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid Should be: Epsom Salts are Magnesium sulfate, usually with some water attached to it. Magnesium hydroxide is a base, hydrochloric acid is an acid. When Hydrochoric acid is not in water, it's a gas at normal temperatures - thus not able to be made into a dry powder. Acid + Base = salt + water. In this case it would make Magnesium Chloride + water.
MgCO3 is called magnesium carbonate. It's classified as salt.Since that the reaction of metal with acid forms salt of acid and hydrogen gas:metal + acid --> salt of acid + hydrogen gasmagnesium + carbonic acid --> magnesium carbonate + hydrogenMg + H2CO3--> MgCO3+ H2
Mg(BrO3)2 is a salt and not an acid or base. Salts are formed when acids react with bases and neutralize each other. In this case, magnesium bromate is a salt formed from the reaction between magnesium hydroxide (a base) and bromic acid (an acid).
Magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)2, is a BASE. This is easily noted by the presence of the hydroxide ions.
