Its heavy form provides a dense, uniform texture, enhancing handling and measurement accuracy in experimental setups. The compound is chemically stable under standard conditions, resistant to moisture, and non-reactive with most common lab reagents, ensuring reliable performance across diverse protocols. Whether used as a reagent, catalyst, or pH regulator, its consistent particle size distribution guarantees reproducibility in results. Store in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container to maintain its integrity and extend shelf life.
FAQs
1. What is the particle size range of this Magnesium Oxide Heavy?
The heavy grade typically features a finer particle size distribution compared to light grades, ensuring better flowability and uniformity in lab applications.
2. Can this be used as a desiccant in moisture-sensitive experiments?
While Magnesium Oxide has hygroscopic properties, this grade is optimized for chemical reactions rather than desiccation. For dedicated drying, consider specialized desiccants.
3. Is this product compatible with acidic solutions?
Magnesium Oxide reacts with acids to form magnesium salts and water. Use in neutral or alkaline environments for stable performance.
4. How does the “heavy” designation differ from standard Magnesium Oxide?
The “heavy” variant indicates a higher bulk density and finer particle size, improving handling and reducing dusting during weighing or mixing.
5. What precautions should be taken during storage to prevent contamination?
Store in an airtight container away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid cross-contamination by using clean, dry utensils for scooping.
