Solution
The correct option is CMgI2 and MgSO4 The mixture contains MgI2 and MgSO4 Barium chloride reacts with magnesium sulphate to form white ppt of barium hydroxide Sodium hydroxide reacts with magnesium iodide to form white ppt of magnesium hydroxide. Same colour of ppt is obtained by reaction of magnesium sulphate with NaOH. Magnesium salts react with chlorine gas to form brown ppt.
