The pH of an aqueous magnesium sulfate solution is related to the molarity of the MgSO4. Typically, the pH is between 5.5 and 6.5 due to magnesium's affinity for hydroxide ion (OH-). As the sulfate goes into solution, hydroxide anions associate with the magnesium, increasing the relative ratio of H+ to OH-. This shift results in more acidic solutions. Magnesium hydroxide is also known as milk of magnesia.

It is the ratio of the density of MgSO4 (@ 20 C) to the density of H2O (@ 4 C). the density of water at this T is 1000 kg/M^3 or 1 g/cm^3. So just find the density of magnesium sulfate at 20 degrees C and divide by one of these densities of water. (Make sure all the units cancel out! specific gravity is dimensionless!)

What is the difference between manganese sulfate and manganous sulfate?

They are used to identify the same material. The -ous being the older form of the name. The Manganese Sulfate would be more correct if written as Manganese (II) Sulfate. This indicates the lower oxidation state of the Mn atom which is +2. The term Manganous Sulfate is the older way of identifying the oxidation state. If you see term Manganic in a molecule's name this is referring to the higher oxidation +3 oxidation state. In current usage it would be Manganese (III).


Is sodium sulfate more soluble at high pH or low pH?

Sodium Suphate is a neutral salt because it a salt of strong acid (sulphuric acid) so the pH of the solution makes little or no difference to it's solubility.
