I looked on a solubility chart to answer this question, and hydroxides are generally insoluble (with some exceptions of course). However, it says to consider $Mg(OH)_{2}$ as an insoluble substance, though it may be moderately soluble.

The answer that you are most likely looking for is: Yes, a precipitate does form - this is due to the double placement reaction:

$Mg(NO_{3})_{2}_{(aq)}$ + $2NaOH_{(aq)}$ → $Mg(OH)_{2} {(s)}$ + $2NaNO_{3}_{(aq)}$

Explain what makes insulative materials work most effectively.

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Most common insulation materials work by slowing conductive heat flow and--to a lesser extent--convective heat flow. Radiant barriers and reflective insulation systems work by reducing radiant heat gain. To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.

Explanation:

To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.
