Description and Uses
Magnesium nitrate has the molecular formula of
Mg(NO3)2 and the molecular weight of 148.3152 g/
mol.
Magnesium nitrate is prepared by the action of nitric
acid on magnesium carbonate, oxide or hydroxide:
MgCO3 + 2HNO3 ? Mg(NO3)2 + CO2 +H2O
Mg(OH)2 + 2HNO3 ? Mg(NO3)2 + 2H2O
The salt crystallizing at room temperature after
evaporation is the hexahydrate, Mg(NO3)2·6H2O. Two
stable hydrates are formed, the hexahydrate [CAS
number =13446-18-9] and the dihydrate, Mg(NO3)2·
2H2O [CAS number = 15750-45-5].
It is used in printing, chemical, agriculture and ceramics industries. Its fertilizer grade has 10.5% nitrogen and 9.4% magnesium.
