Ø Introduction:
Magnesium chloride is a chloride with the chemical formula MgCl2. It is a colorless and deliquescent crystal.These salts are usually ionic halides and are highly soluble in water.Magnesium chloride hydrate can usually be extracted from brine or seawater with 6 molecules of crystal water. But when heated to 95 ° C, it loses crystal water. Above 135 ° C, it will decompose and release hydrogen chloride gas. Its industrial raw materials are used to produce magnesium. Found in seawater and saltwater. Magnesium chloride hydrate is a commonly used substance in oral magnesium supplements
