    The correct option is: E. No precipitate will form.

    Explanation:

    A solubility chart refers to the list of solubility of various ionic compounds. It shows the solubility of the various compounds in water at room temperature and 1 atm pressure.

    Also, according to the solubility rules, the salts of chlorides, bromides and iodides are generally soluble and mostly all salts of sulfate are soluble.

    Since, all the compounds formed in this double replacement reaction are soluble in water. Therefore, no precipitate will be formed.

    ZnSO₄ (aq) + MgCl₂ (aq) → ZnCl₂ (aq) + MgSO₄ (aq)
