  2. Magnesium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium

    Mg is radioactive and in the 1950s to 1970s was produced by several nuclear power plants for use in scientific experiments. This isotope has a relatively short half-life (21 hours) and its use was limited by shipping times. The nuclide 26 Mg has found application in isotopic geology, similar to that of aluminium. 26 Mg is a radiogenic daughter ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_compounds

    6 Mg(OH) 2 + 6 Cl 2 → 5 MgCl 2 + Mg(ClO 3) 2 + 6 H 2 O. Magnesium perchlorate is a white powder that is easily soluble in water, which can be obtained by the reaction of magnesium oxide and perchloric acid. The hexahydrate crystallizes from the solution, and then it is dried with phosphorus pentoxide in a vacuum at 200~250 °C to obtain the ...

  4. Magnesium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_oxide

    Magnesium oxide (Mg O), or magnesia, is a white hygroscopic solid mineral that occurs naturally as periclase and is a source of magnesium (see also oxide).It has an empirical formula of MgO and consists of a lattice of Mg 2+ ions and O 2− ions held together by ionic bonding.

  9. Magnesium hydride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_hydride

    MgH 2 readily reacts with water to form hydrogen gas: MgH 2 + 2 H 2 O → 2 H 2 + Mg(OH) 2. At 287 °C it decomposes to produce H 2 at 1 bar pressure. [16] The high temperature required is seen as a limitation in the use of MgH 2 as a reversible hydrogen storage medium: [17] MgH 2 → Mg + H 2
