Solution

The correct option is B False
On heating, $M g C l_{2} .6 H_{2} O$ undergoes partial hydrolysis.

$M g C l_{2} . 6 H_{2} O ⇌ M g (O H) C l + H C l + 5 H_{2} O$

Anhydrous $M g C l_{2}$ is obtained by heating the hydrated salt with dry $H C l .$

$M g C l_{2} .6 H_{2} O D r y H C l - ---- \to M g C l_{2} + 6 H_{2} O$
