Explanation:

Step1: Identify dissociation of magnesium hydroxide

Magnesium hydroxide ($Mg(OH)_2$) is a slightly - soluble ionic compound. In aqueous solution, it dissociates into magnesium ions ($Mg^{2 + }$) and hydroxide ions ($OH^-$).
$Mg(OH)_2(s)
ightleftharpoons Mg^{2 + }(aq)+2OH^-(aq)$

Answer:

$Mg(OH)_2(s)
ightleftharpoons Mg^{2 + }(aq)+2OH^-(aq)$
