The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
The compound magnesium nitrate is a strong electrolyte. Write the reaction when magnesium nitrate is put into water:
Answer:
Mg(NO3)2(s)--------->Mg^2+(aq) + 2NO3^-(aq)
Explanation:
When we say that a compound is a strong electrolyte, we mean that that the compound dissociates completely in solution to form its ions.
This means that all strong electrolytes attain 100% dissociation of the solid in water according to its stoichiometric equation.
For magnesium nitrate, the reaction equation is;
Mg(NO3)2(s)--------->Mg^2+(aq) + 2NO3^-(aq)
