What is the formula mass of magnesium perchlorate?

The formula mass of magnesium perchlorate (Mg(ClO4)2) can be calculated by adding the atomic masses of magnesium, chlorine, and oxygen in the compound. The atomic mass of magnesium is 24.305 amu, chlorine is 35.453 amu, and oxygen is 16.00 amu. Therefore, the formula mass of magnesium perchlorate is 24.305 + 2(35.453) + 8(16.00) = 223.21 amu.


What is Mg(ClO4)2 chemical name?

If you mean MgCl2 , it' a salts are typical ionic halides, being highly soluble in water. The hydrated magnesium chloride can be extracted from brine or sea water. Magnesium chloride as the natural mineral Bischofite is also extracted (solution mining) out of ancient seabeds, for example the Zechstein seabed in NW Europe. Anhydrous magnesium chloride is the principal precursor to magnesium metal, which is produced on a large scale. Natural occurrence of anhydrous form was not confirmed. thx!
