Magnesium Carbonate, also known as Magnesium Carbonate Basic Pentahydrate, Magnesium Hydroxycarbonate Pentahydrate, Magnesium Hydroxy Carbonate Pentahydrate, and Carbonic Acid, is commonly available as basic pentahydrate of Magnesium(2+) Carbonate having the chemical formula 3MgCO3·Mg(OH)2·5H2O. It appears as a white, odorless, and tasteless powder, and is practically insoluble in water, and is insoluble in alcohol. It is soluble in dilute acids with effervescence. It’s a key source of Magnesium that can easily be converted to other Magnesium compounds, such as the oxide by heating (calcination).
A USP/FCC Grade chemical is the one that conforms to the criteria of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC). A substance that has received the USP/FCC Grade specifications can be used in food applications. In the United States of America (USA), Lab Alley is selling its high-quality Magnesium Carbonate online at laballey.com.
