Final answer:

The products of the unbalanced reaction between Mg(NO3)2(aq) and KOH(aq) are Mg(OH)2(s) and KNO3(aq). The balanced equation for this reaction is Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2KOH(aq) → Mg(OH)2(s) + 2KNO3(aq). Magnesium hydroxide is insoluble in water and will form as a precipitate.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the reaction between Mg(NO3)2(aq) and KOH(aq), the products of the unbalanced reaction are Mg(OH)2(s) and KNO3(aq).

When magnesium nitrate reacts with potassium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide (a precipitate) and potassium nitrate are formed. The balanced equation for this reaction is: Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2KOH(aq) → Mg(OH)2(s) + 2KNO3(aq).

The precipitate, magnesium hydroxide, is a salt that is insoluble in water.

I think you want to ask when Mg(NO3)2 react with KOH, what are the products. Mg(OH)2 is insoluble compounds. So the products are Mg(OH)2 and KNO3.
