When Epsom salts are added to ammonia, no significant reaction occurs because Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) are predominantly composed of magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen, while ammonia is primarily made up of nitrogen and hydrogen. The two substances do not have strong chemical interactions.
Evidence of the reaction between Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) and ammonia would include observing the formation of a white precipitate (magnesium hydroxide) and the release of ammonia gas, which has a distinct pungent smell. Additionally, one could measure the change in pH, which would increase as the ammonia reacts with the magnesium sulfate to form magnesium hydroxide.
When alkalis react with ammonium salts, they form ammonia gas, water, and the corresponding salt. This reaction is known as an acid-base reaction, where the alkali acts as the base and the ammonium ion acts as an acid. The ammonia gas is released as a byproduct of the reaction.
When Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) are mixed with sulfuric acid (H2SO4), a reaction occurs where the magnesium sulfate is protonated by the sulfuric acid to form magnesium bisulfate and water. This reaction releases heat and should be handled carefully due to the corrosive nature of sulfuric acid.
Epsom salt is a stable compound that does not easily evaporate. It can only evaporate along with water if a solution of Epsom salt and water is left to dry out, which could take days to weeks, depending on the conditions.
No, they are not similar.
Ammonia solution is not very stable; the gas NH3 is released in time.
Since epsom salts is sometimes used as a laxative, it could cause stomach upset and/or diarrhea.

Yes. Epsom salts combat Chlorosis.
Pure Epsom salts do not contain any lead. Since Epsom salts are magnesium sulfate, they contain only magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen.
They are ionic salts.
In Epsom, UK.
Epsom salts are used for sore muscles in athletes and others. These Epsom salts have drying and pain relief properties. They can also be used as laxatives when ingested.
No, Epsom salts are not intended for recreational use and do not produce a high when consumed. In fact, ingesting Epsom salts can be harmful and lead to serious health issues. It is important to use Epsom salts only as directed for their intended purpose, such as for baths or as a laxative when recommended by a healthcare professional.
Epsom Salts are salts. There are many different kinds of salts, the most widely known being table salt, which is NaCl. The fact that this is not the only kind of salt can cause confusion.
Epsom salts is magnesium sulfate, MgSO4, which has three elements: magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen.
Epsom Salts are not used to deter moths in closets. You are confusing Epsom Salts with Naphtha. Commonly called Mothballs.
