Was: the composition of epsom salt is magnesium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid
Should be: Epsom Salts are Magnesium sulfate, usually with some water attached to it.
Magnesium hydroxide is a base, hydrochloric acid is an acid. When Hydrochoric acid is not in water, it's a gas at normal temperatures - thus not able to be made into a dry powder.
Acid + Base = salt + water. In this case it would make Magnesium Chloride + water.
Epsom salt is hydrated magnesium sulfate - MgSO4.7H2O.

No. a mineral is a compound of fixed chemical composition and of fixed crystal structure.
Alkali is a basic, ionic salt of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal element. Thus, the chemical composition of an alkali is: alkali metal,hydrogen,oxygen,carbon.

When Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) is dissolved in water, it dissociates into magnesium ions (Mg2+) and sulfate ions (SO4 2-). This dissociation process is a physical change, not a chemical reaction, as the chemical composition of Epsom salt remains the same.
Yes. The way I think about it is if you can change it back (in this case, you could filter the epsom salt out, or evaporate the water, drying it) then it is a physical change.
No, Glauber's salt and Epsom salt are not the same. Glauber's salt, also known as sodium sulfate, is a compound with the chemical formula Na2SO4. Epsom salt, on the other hand, is magnesium sulfate heptahydrate with the chemical formula MgSO4·7H2O. While both are salts, they have different chemical compositions and properties.
Epsom salt is a chemical compound (magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, MgSO4.7H2O) not a mixture.
Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate heptahydrate - MgSO4·7H2O.
Eposm salt, or Magnesium sulfate, has the chemical formula MgSO4·7H2O
Unfortunately, you cannot use salt in place of Epsom salts to make silly putty. Epsom salts are magnesium sulfate, which helps give silly putty its unique properties like stretchiness and bounciness. Regular table salt does not have the same chemical composition and will not produce the desired results.
If you mean epsom salt, the chemical formula is MgSO4, also called magnesium sulfate.
If you are allergic to sulfur, it is generally advisable to avoid Epsom salt baths, as Epsom salt contains magnesium sulfate, which includes sulfur in its chemical composition. While some individuals with sulfur allergies may tolerate Epsom salt, reactions can vary, so it's best to consult a healthcare professional before trying it. Alternative options, such as plain warm baths or other non-sulfur-based bath products, may be safer.
The chemical formula for epsom salts, magnesium sulfate, is MgSO4.
Epsom Salt chemical formula = MgSO4-7H20 use this linc to Wiki for Magnesium Sulphate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_sulfate or another good one (or better) is http://curezone.com/forums/FM.asp?i=61985 Dave e.
