Talc is insoluble in water.
The water will change it's color and taste.
The mineral with a silky luster that is used in baby powder is talc. Baby powder also contains a mixture of magnesium.
Talc is one of the softest minerals with a hardness of 1. Talc is also crushed into a powder called talcum powder which is used a fertilizer.
Talc is a natural mineral, an Aluminium Silicate, and is quarried for cosmetic and industrial purposes.
talcum powder quietens creaky floorboards so it might just help with the hinge of your mobile phone. Please do not put talcum powder on your phone. By placing talcum powder on the phone, you will cause the warranty to be null and void. I used silicone spray lubricant on the hinge and it worked great. Obviously you have to be extremely careful not to get it on any other parts of phone or inside the phone. I used a "Q-tip" saturated with the silicone, and applied to the hinge, as I worked the hinge back and forth until the squeak was gone. Then I wiped off the excess. I thought it might affect the plastic, but it did not.
Talcum powder is insoluble in water.
have you tried it?
Synthetic magnesium silicates are insoluble in water or alcohol.
use a kitchen strainer and pour water over the talcum powder nail mixture use a magnet talcum powder is non magnetic
Talc won't dissolve in cold water whereas salt will. Filter out the talc, then evaporate the water.
Talcum is not dissolved in water.
Baking powder is Sodium Bicarbonate a polar compound that is particularly amenable to water (a polar solvent). So Baking powder will dissolve faster than a non-polar powder like Talcum powder. Also baking power is very finely ground and will present a large surface area to the water which hastens dissolving. Salt in comparison although a strongly polar compound is course ground and will take longer to dissolve.
No......it will float above the water. You have to add some hot water or stir it to mix it but it will clump and after sitting will dissipate out again. e.g. It will never completely dissolve or mix.
No. Talcum power is not magnetic.

That's called menstruation and is not linked to eating talcum powder... But I don't suggest eating talcum powder anyway :S
