Reaction type
Solution
Balanced equation
Li2CO3 (s) + MgCl2 (aq) → MgCO3 (s) + 2 LiCl (aq)
Double-Replacement reactions. Happens if there is an ion exchange between two ion compounds in the reactant to form two new ion compounds in the product
To predict whether this reaction can occur or not is one of them, the precipitation reaction.
MgCO3 is a precipitation compound
