Where do you find a magnesium?

Answer 1

There are over 60 minerals in which magnesium is found. Brucite, carnallite, dolomite, magnesite, olivine and talc are the important commercial ones. Note that magnesium can also be produced from magnesium-containing compounds recovered from brines, sea water and from wells. Links are provided to the relevant Wikipedia articles.

Answer 2

The name 'Magnesium' originates from the Greek word for a district in Thessaly called Magnesia. It is related to magnetite and manganese, which also originated from this area, and required differentiation as separate substances.

Magnesium is the seventh most abundant element in the Earth's crust by mass and eighth by molarity. It is found in large deposits of magnesite, dolomite, and other minerals, and in mineral waters, where magnesium ion is soluble. In 1618 a farmer at Epsom in England attempted to give his cows water from a well. They refused to drink because of the water's bitter taste. However the farmer noticed that the water seemed to heal scratches and rashes. The fame of Epsom salts spread. Eventually they were recognized to be hydrated magnesium sulfate, MgSO4.

The metal itself was first produced in England by Sir Humphry Davy in 1808 using electrolysis of a mixture of magnesia and HgO. A. A. B. Bussy prepared it in coherent form in 1831. Davy's first suggestion for a name was magnium, but the name magnesium is now used.

Answer 3

Magnesium ores such as Magnesite MgCO3 and Dolomite MgCO3.CaCO3 , are the main constituents of earth crust so they exist in almost all the Sedimentary rocks on earth and beneath the earth surface.

Answer 4

In nature, you could find it in sea water, magnesite, and dolomite.

Answer 5

Magnesium can be found in large amounts in the ocean - However it is found as a compound (not sure which... :/ ) and must be refined.

Answer 6

igneous and metamorphic rocks

in your mom
