What is Magnesium carbonate?
Description
Magnesium carbonate has the molecular formula of
MgCO3 and the molecular weight of 84.3145 g/mol.For the most part,Mg2+
forms several hydrated and
basic carbonates that are stable and occur in nature.
The calcite structure of magnesium
carbonate has the form wherein Mg2+
is surrounded
by six O2-
atoms. The dihydrate composition has
a triclinic structure, while the trihydrate has a monoclinic
structure. References to “light” and “heavy” magnesium
carbonates actually refer to the magnesium hydroxycarbonates.
A space-filling structure of the anhydrous
salt is seen in the above diagram where the triangular
CO3 2-
groups are clearly visible.
The Uses of Magnesium carbonate
Magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) is found in a mixture of natural minerals. It can also be produced in several ways, including pumping carbon dioxide through magnesium oxide or magnesium hydroxide. It is used in pharmaceuticals such as magnesium citrate and as a desiccant to keep hydroscopic products from caking (table salt) and to strengthen rubber and produce dyes, inks, and cosmetics.
