What is the difference between magnesuim and magnesuim sulfate?

Magnesium is a metallic element with the atomic number 12, while magnesium sulfate is a chemical compound composed of magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen. Magnesium sulfate, also known as Epsom salt, is commonly used in medicine and agriculture, while magnesium itself plays a crucial role in many biological processes in the body.


Displacement word equation for magnesium and copper sulphate?

Magnesium + Copper(II) sulfate -&gt; Magnesium sulfate + Copper This balanced equation represents the displacement reaction between magnesium and copper sulfate, where magnesium replaces copper in the compound to form magnesium sulfate while copper is displaced.


Will magnesium sulfate react with magnesium?

No, magnesium sulfate will not react with magnesium because magnesium sulfate is a salt that dissolves in water to form magnesium ions and sulfate ions. Pure magnesium does not react with magnesium sulfate.


Is their any difference between magnesium and zinc sulphate?

Yes, magnesium sulfate and zinc sulfate are different compounds. Magnesium sulfate, commonly known as Epsom salt, is a mineral compound containing magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen. Zinc sulfate is a salt that contains zinc, sulfur, and oxygen. Both compounds have different properties and uses.


What happens in the reaction between sodium hydroxide and magnesium sulphate?

When sodium hydroxide reacts with magnesium sulfate, a double displacement reaction occurs where the sodium ions from sodium hydroxide switch places with the magnesium ions from magnesium sulfate to form sodium sulfate and magnesium hydroxide. The products of this reaction are aqueous sodium sulfate and a white precipitate of magnesium hydroxide.

What is the difference between magnesium sulfate and magnesium chloride.what is the use of these salts in agriculture soil?

Well the main difference between the two is that they are totally different compounds. Magnesium sulfate has derivatives of sulfur and oxygen when magnesisum chloride is a derivitive of chlorine. Magnesium sulfate has a polyatomic ion (sulfate); magnesium chloride is made of a cation and an anion. In the magnesium sulfate, the magnesium and the sulfate ion cancel the charges so the both have a charge of 0. In magnesium chloride, the magnesium cation has a charge of 0 while the chloride anion has a charge of 2-.As for the uses of salts in agriculture, MgSO4 is often encountered as the heptahydrate epsomite (MgSO4&middot;7H2O), commonly called Epsom salt. In agriculture and gardening, magnesium sulfate is used to correct magnesium deficiency in soil, since magnesium is an essential element in the chorophyll molecule. It is most commonly applied to potted plants, or to magnesium-hungry crops, such as potatoes, roses, tomatoes, peppers and cannabis. The advantage of magnesium sulfate over other magnesium soil amendments (such as dolomitic lime) is its high solubility.As for the magnesium chloride, its uses include using for dust and erosion control and for experimenting anti lipid effects in animals.
