Description
Clear, deliquescent crystals that occur naturally as the mineral nitromagnesite. In a closed environment, a saturated aqueous solution of magnesium nitrate will form an equilibrium at a relative humidity level of about 55% (20C). Magnesium nitrate is also used in fireworks.
Synonyms and Related Terms
magnesium (II) nitrate; magnesium nitrate hexahydrate (CAS # 13446-18-9)
Risks
- Dangerous fire and explosion risk in contact with organic material.
- Strong oxidizing agent.
- ThermoFisher: SDS
Physical and Chemical Properties
- Soluble in water and ethanol.
- Deliquescent point at 20C is 54.9 % RH (see Saturated salt solutions)
