Magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) is considered neutral because it is a salt formed from a strong acid, hydrochloric acid (HCl), and a strong base, magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂). When dissolved in water, it dissociates into magnesium ions (Mg²⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻), neither of which significantly affects the pH of the solution. Thus, the resulting solution does not exhibit acidic or basic properties, making it neutral.
