At the 95°C temperature conditions of atmospheric leaching, the magnesium solubility limit is around 50 g/L. A good working limit has been found to be around 40 g/L, as this allows for solution cooling without the risk of magnesium sulfate crystallization. 

In the case of the aluminum-magnesium system, almost all commercial alloys are supersaturated as the magnesium solubility at ambient temperatures is less than 1 wt%. This effectively means that for alloys with more than 3wt% magnesium, elevated service temperatures can lead to grain boundary precipitation and sensitization of grain boundaries to an IGC susceptibility. The extent of this sensitization may be approximately deduced from the continuity of Mg2Alj precipitation at the boundaries. Apparently continuous boundaries correspond to high levels of sensitization to IGC. 

C12H9N3O4. A brownish-red powder, soluble in sodium hydroxide. Used for the detection and estimation of magnesium, with which it forms a blue lake in alkaline solutions. 

For temporary hardness due to magnesium carbonate, more lime is required, since the magnesium precipitates as the hydroxide (less soluble than the carbonate) ... 

These can be prepared by electrolytic oxidation of chlorates(V) or by neutralisation of the acid with metals. Many chlorates(VII) are very soluble in water and indeed barium and magnesium chlorates-(VII) form hydrates of such low vapour pressure that they can be used as desiccants. The chlorate(VII) ion shows the least tendency of any negative ion to behave as a ligand, i.e. to form complexes with cations, and hence solutions of chlorates (VII) are used when it is desired to avoid complex formation in solution. 

The chromates of the alkali metals and of magnesium and calcium are soluble in water the other chromates are insoluble. The chromate ion is yellow, but some insoluble chromates are red (for example silver chromate, Ag2Cr04). Chromates are often isomorph-ous with sulphates, which suggests that the chromate ion, CrO has a tetrahedral structure similar to that of the sulphate ion, SO4 Chromates may be prepared by oxidising chromium(III) salts the oxidation can be carried out by fusion with sodium peroxide, or by adding sodium peroxide to a solution of the chromium(IIl) salt. The use of sodium peroxide ensures an alkaline solution otherwise, under acid conditions, the chromate ion is converted into the orange-coloured dichromate ion ... 

To obtain crystalline perbenzoic acid, dry the moist chloroform solution with a little anhydrous sodium or magnesium sulphate for an hour, filter, and wash the desiccant with a little dry chloroform. Remove the chloroform under reduced pressure at the ordinary temperature whilst carbon dioxide is introduced through a capillary tube. Dry the white or pale yellow residue for several hours at 30-35° under 10 mm. pressure. The yield of crystalline perbenzoic acid, m.p. about 42°, which is contaminated with a little benzoic acid, is 22 g. It is moderately stable when kept in the dark in a cold place it is very soluble in chloroform, ethyl acetate and ether, but only shghtly soluble in cold water and in cold hght petroleum. 

Step 3. The neutral components. The ethereal solution (E remaining after the acid extraction of Step 2 should contain only the neutral compounds of Solubility Groups V, VI and VII (see Table XI,5). Dry it with a little anhydrous magnesium sulphate, and distil off the ether. If a residue is obtained, neutral compounds are present in the mixture. Test a portion of this with respect to its solubility in concentrated sulphuric acid if it dissolves in the acid, pour the solution slowly and cautiously into ice water and note whether any compound is recovered. Examine the main residue for homogeneity and if it is a mixture devise procedures, based for example upon differences in volatility, solubility in inert solvents, reaction with hydrolytic and other reagents, to separate the components. 

Ether solution (E,). This will contain any neutral compounds present. Dry with anhydrous magnesium sulphate, and distil ofi the ether. A residue indicates the presence of a neutral component. Determine the solubility of a portion in cone. HjS04. Apply any other suitable tests. 

MetaUic ions are precipitated as their hydroxides from aqueous caustic solutions. The reactions of importance in chlor—alkali operations are removal of magnesium as Mg(OH)2 during primary purification and of other impurities for pollution control. Organic acids react with NaOH to form soluble salts. Saponification of esters to form the organic acid salt and an alcohol and internal coupling reactions involve NaOH, as exemplified by reaction with triglycerides to form soap and glycerol,... 

Properties. Lithium fluoride [7789-24-4] LiF, is a white nonhygroscopic crystaUine material that does not form a hydrate. The properties of lithium fluoride are similar to the aLkaline-earth fluorides. The solubility in water is quite low and chemical reactivity is low, similar to that of calcium fluoride and magnesium fluoride. Several chemical and physical properties of lithium fluoride are listed in Table 1. At high temperatures, lithium fluoride hydroly2es to hydrogen fluoride when heated in the presence of moisture. A bifluoride [12159-92-17, LiF HF, which forms on reaction of LiF with hydrofluoric acid, is unstable to loss of HF in the solid form. 

The FD C certified colors are all water-soluble dyes, but can be transformed into insoluble pigments known as lakes by precipitating the dyes with alurninum, calcium, or magnesium salts on a substrate of aluminum hydroxide. The lakes are useful in appHcations that require color whereas in dry form, such as cake mixes, or where water may be present and bleeding is a problem, such as food packaging. FD C Red Lake No. 3 was deHsted in Febmary... 

The magnesia and alumina suspension is prepared by treatment of an aqueous solution, containing aluminum and magnesium salt in the desired proportion, with sodium hydroxide. The coprecipitated aluminum and magnesium hydroxides are collected by filtration, washed free of soluble salts, and stabilized by the addition of a suitable hexatol. 

Alagnesium Oxide. Magnesia [1309-48 ] MgO, is available in a very bulky white powder known as light magnesium oxide, or a relatively dense white powder known as heavy magnesium oxide. It absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide when exposed to air. It is practically insoluble in water, insoluble in alcohol, and soluble in dilute acids (see Magnesium compounds). 

Magnesium trisihcate is a nonsystemic antacid and an adsorbent. It has a slow onset of activity and is a relatively weak antacid. It may cause diarrhea in large doses owing to soluble magnesium salts. One gram of magnesium trisihcate neutralizes 10 mL of 0.1 NUCl in 10 min, and 15 mL in 2 h. 

Magaldrate is prepared by precipitation from aqueous solutions of sodium or potassium aluminate and a magnesium salt under controlled conditions of concentration and temperature. The precipitated product is collected by filtration, washed to remove soluble by-products, and dried. 

Data on the solubihty of magnesium hydroxide in water are not all in agreement, but the solubihty is extremely low. The extent of Mg(OH)2 solubihty is 10 mg/L, which is about 1/100 the solubihty of Ca(OH)2. In concentrated solutions of NH Cl and NH CO, the solubihty of Mg(OH)2 is markedly increased, but in no instance does its solubihty equal that of MgCO in water heavily permeated with CO2. Dolomitic hydrates are slightly less soluble than high calcium hydrates, but much nearer the latter in value than Mg(OH)2, because the presence of MgO and Mg(OH)2 does not impede the dissolution of its Ca(OH)2 constituent.
