Magnesium has a valence of 2+. It will react with the Chloride in the HCL. CL has a valence of 1-. So you will need two chloride ions to handle the 1 magnesium ion.

Also you have 2 Hydroxide ions (OH) each with a valence of -1

You need two Hydrogen ions (H) to balance them as Hydrogen has a valence of 1+

So you would need two molecules of HCl per 1 molecule of Magnesium Hydroxide.

so.

Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + 2H20
