FAQs
1. What is the solubility of magnesium chloride hexahydrate in water?
Magnesium chloride hexahydrate is highly soluble in water, with a solubility of approximately 167 g/100 mL at 20?C, forming clear, colorless solutions.
2. Can this product be used for DNA extraction protocols?
Yes, the extra pure grade ensures minimal contamination, making it suitable for DNA extraction and other molecular biology applications where ionic purity is critical.
3. How should this chemical be stored to maintain stability?
Store in a cool, dry place in tightly sealed containers to prevent hydration changes or contamination from atmospheric moisture.
4. Is this magnesium chloride hexahydrate compatible with ethanol-based solutions?
It is soluble in ethanol, though solubility is lower compared to water. Pre-dissolving in water before ethanol addition is recommended for homogeneous mixtures.
5. What alternatives exist for applications requiring anhydrous magnesium chloride?
For anhydrous requirements, consider magnesium chloride anhydrous (98%+ purity), which lacks water of crystallization and is used in moisture-sensitive reactions.
