What solvent would you use to determine the density of magnesium nitrate?

To determine the density, you need to know the volume of a known mass of substance. To find the mass, just weigh out a sample. To determine the volume of a sample, a common method is to put some liquid in a graduated cylinder and record the volume. Then add the weighed sample (in this case MgNO3), and then record the new volume. Subtract the original volume from the new one, and the difference is the volume of the solid. To do this, accurately, the solid must be completely insoluble in the liquid. And so the liquid should not really be a solvent at all! For an ionic compound MgNO3, using a non-polar organic solvent (such as hexane) should ensure essentially zero solubility.

What is the solvent in water mixed with sodium nitrate?
water is the solvent while sodium nitrate is the solute
Is ethanol silver nitrate a polar solvent?
Ethanol is a polar solvent. Ethanol will dissolve silver nitrate.
Could you determine the density of zinc chloride using water as a solvent?
No because sodium acetate is soluble in water
Which compound is most soluble in polar solvent silver nitrate silver chloride silver carbonate or all are equal solubility?
Silver Nitrate
What is the solute and solvent of stirling silver?
Silver is soluble in Nitric Acid producing silver nitrate.
What precipitate is formed when magnesium and silver nitrate mix?
Silver metal, the magnesium displaces the silver from solution. It's not really a "precipitate" exactly; the silver forms deposits on the surface of the magnesium instead of crystallizing in the solvent.
What is the solvent in water mixed with sodium nitrate?
water is the solvent while sodium nitrate is the solute
What solvent used to determine the density of diphenyl?
Toluene, benzene, or hexane are suitable organic solvents for determining the density of diphenyl.
Is ethanol silver nitrate a polar solvent?
Ethanol is a polar solvent. Ethanol will dissolve silver nitrate.
Could you determine the density of zinc chloride using water as a solvent?
No because sodium acetate is soluble in water
Why is the aqueous solutioni of sodium nitrate a mixture not a solution?
It is a solution. A solution is a type of mixture in which a solute is dissolved in a solvent. A solution is a homogeneous mixture. In the case of an aqueous solution of sodium nitrate, the sodium nitrate is the solute and the water is the solvent.
Is iron III nitrate soluble in hexane?
No, it is an ionic compound which is soluble in water (a polar solvent) but not in Hexane ( a non polar solvent).
Is Magnesium Chloride soluble in Hexane?
Magnesium chloride is an ionic salt. Hexane is a non polar solvent. So, magnesium chloride is unsoluble in hexane.
Which compound is most soluble in polar solvent silver nitrate silver chloride silver carbonate or all are equal solubility?
Silver Nitrate
What is a suitable organic solvent for magnesium acetate?
Glacial Acetic Acid
Is silver nitrate or silver chloride or silver carbonate more soluble in a polar solvent?
Silver nitrate is soluble in water but chloride and carbonate are insoluble.
How do you determine the density of an irregular solids soluble in water?
Use a solvent which do not dissolve the solute. For example, if you want to determine the density of sugar, and sugar, as we all know, is soluble in water. So, instead of water we can substitute it with oil.
