Part 1: Name the type of chemical reaction that occurs when magnesium chloride
solution (MgCl2) reacts with sodium carbonate solution (Na2CO3).
Part 2: Explain why aluminum (AI) would react with copper chloride (CuCl2) but not with
magnesium chloride (MgCl2).

Mg is ahead of Al in the electrochemical series and more reactive than Al hence Al does not react with MgCl2.

A chemical reaction is said to have occurred when new substances are formed. The reaction between magnesium chloride  solution and sodium carbonate solution is a double decomposition reaction since the cations exchange anion partners in the product;

MgCl2(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) ------> MgCO3(s) + 2NaCl(aq)

We must note that a single replacement reaction depends on the relative positions of metals in the electrochemical series. Al can react with CuCl2 because Al is more reactive than copper and ahead of Cu in the electrochemical series. On the other hand, Mg is ahead of Al in the electrochemical series and more reactive than Al hence Al does not react with MgCl2.
