Magnesium acetate

CAS: 142-72-3
Molecular Formula: C2H11MgO6
Molecular Weight: 155.4096
Product description:Heat by magnesium nitrate with acetic acid. Heat the magnesium nitrate and anhydrous acetic acid, reaction after the termination, 20 min solution to a boil. After long time placement precipitation anhydrous magnesium acetate. The suction filter, use a small amount of anhydrous ethanol washing, reoccupy ether washing, in the vacuum drying oven, in 60 ℃ dry. Free of acetic acid is contained in crystallization, should be long dry to constant weight. Also desirable four hydrated magnesium acetate under 134 ℃ heat to constant weight, can get anhydrous magnesium acetate.Colorless monoclinic crystal, easy deliquescence. Soluble in water, usually for neutral or weak acid aqueous solution. Easy deliquescence in the air, and heating dehydration. Used as a reagent, medicine, catalyst, etc.
