H2SO4 + Mg(OH)2 --> ?
When they don't completely dissociate into salt and water I feel kind of lost, can someone please help?

It's an acid-base/neutralisation reaction, one of the products will be water.
Can you work out the other one?

i think its MgSO3 and h2o

H2SO4+Mg(OH)2---> 2H20 + MgSO4
but i thought it may b diff beacuse Mg(OH) is not a strong base

Well is it MgSO₃ or MgSO₄? You've got two different answers.

Mg(OH)2 is not a strong base but the reactions taking place are still the dissociation of H2SO4 and Mg(OH)2 even if Mg(OH)2 does not dissociate completely.
