If one chemical plant releases magnesium chloride into a river, and another releases strontium hydroxide, what preciptate(s) could form?

Chlorides are soluble except for the chlorides of silver, mercury, and lead. Hydroxides are insoluble except for the hydroxides of ammonium, calcium, strontium, and barium. Therefore, the insoluble precipitate would have to be magnesium hydroxide.

Magnesium hydroxide because strontium chloride would be soluble because chlorides are soluble.
MgCl2(aq) + Sr(OH)2(aq) -> Mg(OH)2(s) + SrCl2(aq)
or simply:
Mg2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) -> Mg(OH)2(s)

depends..is magnesium more active than hyroxide? find the one that forms the covalent bond based on electronegativity and metal activity
it cannot be magnesium hyroxide, it dissolves in a solution so it's not a percipitate
