| Apr 22, 2017 at 5:11 | comment | added | airhuff | I thought $\ce{MgCl2}$ would form a pretty neutral solution. The only reason I can think of for the formation of an acidic solution is the low solubility of magnesium hydroxide could result in precipitation of some of the hydroxide, so the solution could become slightly acidic. Compared to the situation with $\ce{PCl3}$, however, I'd say a solution of $\ce{MgCl2}$ should be pretty neutral. | |
