14. Formula of the reactants: MgCl2 for magnesium chloride and Na2O for sodium oxide. 15. Formula of the products: NaCl for sodium chloride and MgO for magnesium oxide. 16. MgCl2 + Na2O → MgO + 2NaCl 17. This double replacement reaction. Because the positive-charged cations and the negative-charged anions of the reactants switch places to form two new products.
