When Magnesium Chloride is dissolved in water, which part(s) of the water molecules interact with the magnesium ions?

Solution

When MgCl₂ is dissolvd in water the OH^- group of water reacts with Mg⁺⁺ ions

MgCl₂ + 2H₂O >>>>>>>>>>>> Mg⁺⁺.......(OH^-)₂ + 2Cl^- + 2H⁺

interaction between Mg an OH is weak.
