Best Answer

Magnesium sulfate and sodium carbonate are both soluble in water. This means there will be four different types of ions in the initial solution: Mg 2+, SO4 2-, Na +, CO3 2-. These ions move about freely, and transiently interact with ions of opposite charge. If this forms a soluble compound, the ions bump together and initially dissolve again. Magnesium carbonate, though, is not considered to be soluble in water. This means that when the magnesium and carbonate ions "bump together" they stay together and form a solid. The result of this reaction is a white precipitate of magnesium carbonate forming in the solution.

The reaction equation of sodium carbonate and calcium sulfate is as follows: CaSO4 + NaCO3 → CaCO3 + Na2SO4. This reaction is used to help remove soap scum problems in water.

How do you remove magnesium carbonate from table salt to make the salt totally pure?

Magnesium carbonate is practically insoluble in water; dissolve the salt, filter the solution. Magnesium carbonate remain on the filter, the sodium chloride is now in solution. You can use this solution as table salt solution or by evaporation of the water you can obtain pure crystallized NaCl. But I think that it is more simple to buy pure sodium chloride; also, magnesium carbonate is not dangerous and is a common food additive.


How do you separate magnesium carbonate from a solution of magnesium carbonate and sodium carbonate?

First of all, since Magnesium Carbonate is not Soluble in water you couldn't have a solution of these two salts in water. But if you had a mixture of the two in powdered form and need to separate them simply dissolve what you can in water, the part that wont dissolve is the magnesium carbonate and you could them filter it out and let the solution of sodium carbonate dry out and there you have the two separated.
