When common salts used in homes are heated, they may undergo various reactions depending on the specific salt. For example, table salt (sodium chloride) can decompose into sodium and chlorine gases at high temperatures. Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) can lose its water molecules and form anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Sugar can caramelize and turn into a liquid form at high temperatures.

What happens if epsom salts and h2so4 mix?

What happens if you mix epsom salts and calcium chloride?

When you mix Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) with calcium chloride, a chemical reaction occurs that produces magnesium chloride and calcium sulfate. This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat. The resulting mixture can lead to the formation of solid precipitates, depending on the concentrations used. It's important to handle these chemicals with care, as the heat generated can be significant.
