Yazmin Franklin · Answer 1

MgBr2 (aq) + 2 КОH (aq) = 2KBr (aq) + Mg (OH) 2

Mg²⁺ + 2Br⁻ + 2K⁺ + 2OH⁻ = 2K⁺ + 2Br⁻ + Mg²⁺ + 2OH⁻

Explanation:

Number of atoms must be equal in chemical reaction. Because of that, we ad number 2 in front of KOH and KBr. Both of these compaunds are electrolytes and we can write them in ionic form.
