Is magnesium or magnesium chloride a better conductor?
Magnesium has many states, for example Magnesium Choride, or Magnesium carbonate. Magnesium has been experimented with as a Non Heat Conductor successfully using Magnesium Carbonate, and is also potentially argued as a lightweight form of heat resistant coating. Magnesium itself however, as Magnesium ribbon demonstrates, is highly flammable under direct flame, and reacts by giving off extremely bright light and heat, when in flame.
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.
Why the empirical formula of copper oxide cannot be determine by using the same technique as magnesium oxide?
Because Copper is a transition metal with variable velancies. Either +2 or +3 so unless the velancy is given you can't use the easy way out:)
Could you use kolsher salt in stead of ebson salt?
Kosher salt is the Jewish name of the table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl). Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate heptahydrate - MgSO4.7H2O. Do not use interchangeably.
What use is magnesium phosphide?
Magnesium phosphide is used as a raticide.
How do you make blue fireworks?
how you make blue fireworks is by using copper and to make yellow is sodium and to make white is to use magnesium and to make orange you use calcium salts and to gold you use charcoal and to make red you use lithium salts and also to make purple you can you lithium salts (red) and copper (blue).
What is the chemical formula for magnesium sodium and chloride?
Your question appears to lack some necessary detail. Sodium is Na Magnesium Chloride is MgCl2 "What is the equation for sodium and magnesium chloride?" = Na + MgCl2 Is that what you are asking or do mean what is the equation for sodium ___x___ and magnesium chloride? Magnesium chloride appears commercially as a solution in water from 0-35% MgCl2, or an anhydrous solid 98% MgCl2 or hexahydrate solid 47% MgCl2. What is the form of sodium you are trying to use? NaOH? NaCl? ??
Why don't we make ships of sodium or magnesium?
We don't use them because they react with water. Sodium reacts quickly and quite violently, magnesium is slower, but would still be eaten away. In fact we deliberately use blocks of magnesium on the hulls of ships so that they will corrode in preference to the iron hull.
What catalysts to use for reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid?
I think it's copper sulphate
What happens when magnesium reacts with copper sulphate?
Since magnesium is a more reactive metal, it will displace the copper and the anion (Which basically is the sulphate) goes to the magnesium. So the products you get out of the displacement is Magnesium sulphate, and copper alone. I have tried this experiment before and just to tell you one thing... During the reaction, a smell comes up, so cover your nose! :D You don't want to smell it.
What did early scientistis use the process of electrolysis for?
They used it to isolate the elements potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium.

How are Epsom salt and table salt the same?
No. While not poisonous, Epsom salt is not sodium chloride; it is magnesium sulfate.
Name two possible phosphates in the precipatation reaction of copper 2 choloride with sodium phosphate?
Two possible phosphates in the precipatation reaction of copper 2 choloride with sodium phosphate would be copper (II) sodium monophosphate, and copper (II) diphosphate. Phosphate ions carry a charge of negative 3 (PO4-3), so they must bind with something with 3 positive charges. Copper (II) is +2, and adding a sodium (Na+) makes three, so we have copper(II) sodium monphosphate: CuNaPO4. Another possibility is to use multiple phosphates. Two phosphates would have a -6 charge, and 3 copper(II) atoms would have a +6 charge, so they could form copper(II) diphosphate: Cu3(PO4)2.

How would you purify NaCl bought from grocery to lab grade?
Table salt is already a refined salt, being 99% sodium chloride (NaCl). It usually contains substances (for the other 1%) that make it free-flowing (anti-caking agents) such as sodium silicoaluminate or magnesium carbonate. As both magnesium carbonate and sodium silicoaluminate are mostly insoluble in water, it could be possible to dissolve the sodium chloride and filter the insoluble particles. However, the particles will likely be very small and you may benefit more from using a chelating agent to pull the magnesium carbonate or sodium silicoaluminate out of solution before filtering. Both magnesium carbonate and sodium silicoaluminate are generally inert, however, and you may simply find it easier to simply use table salt, depending on he experiments you plan to carry out with the salt.
What is magnesium's use?
Magnesium phosphide is used as a raticide.
