Magnesium sulfate is a solid at room temperature. It typically appears as a white crystalline substance and is commonly known in its hydrated form as Epsom salt. When dissolved in water, it dissociates into magnesium and sulfate ions, but in its pure form, it is not a gas.
Magnesium will react with sulfuric acid to produce magnesium sulfate.
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.
To prepare magnesium sulfate in the lab, you would typically dissolve magnesium oxide or magnesium carbonate in dilute sulfuric acid. The reaction between the magnesium compound and the sulfuric acid will form magnesium sulfate and water. The solution can then be concentrated and crystallized to obtain solid magnesium sulfate.
The solution of magnesium sulfate and water can be separated by a process called evaporation. The solution is heated until the water evaporates, leaving behind the solid magnesium sulfate. The remaining magnesium sulfate crystals can then be collected and the water can be condensed back into a liquid form through condensation.
No, Magnesium oxide (MgO), or magnesia, is a white hygroscopic solid mineral.
Magnesium sulfate is a solid at room temperature. It is a white crystalline compound commonly known as Epsom salt.
When magnesium reacts with sulfuric acid, it produces magnesium sulfate, hydrogen gas, and heat. The reaction is exothermic and the hydrogen gas produced can be observed as bubbles. Additionally, magnesium sulfate is a white solid that can form as a precipitate in the solution.
Magnesium will react with sulfuric acid to produce magnesium sulfate.
Magnesium is a solid
magnesium + sulphuric acid = magnesium sulfate + hydrogen gas
hydrogen gasmagnesium + sulfuric acid → magnesium sulfate + hydrogen
At ambient conditions (the temperatures and pressure in an ordinary lab room) magnesium sulfate will be solid. It will also dissolve easily in water to become aqueous; magnesium sulfate is the chemical formula for Epsom Salts. It will hydrate easily in the presence of humid air - but remain solid. You really won't get it to melt - it decomposes before melting - so you wouldn't get it as a liquid, nor would you get it to boil to become a gas. Like any solid, it will sublime just a little bit at low pressures but the vapor pressure of the salt is so low that for all practical purposes we wouldn't worry about it ever evaporating/subliming any more than we worry about table salt evaporating.
Yes, when magnesium ribbon is added to copper sulfate solution, a reaction takes place where magnesium displaces copper from the solution. This reaction produces magnesium sulfate and elemental copper. No gas is formed during this reaction.
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.
