FAQs
1. What does ‘ER’ stand for in Magnesium Sulphate ER?
In the context of laboratory chemicals, ‘ER’ typically stands for ‘Extra Pure’ or ‘Analytical Reagent’. This grade signifies a high level of purity, making it suitable for demanding analytical applications, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and general laboratory use where reliable results are paramount.
2. Is this Magnesium Sulphate suitable for biological experiments?
Yes, Magnesium Sulphate ER is generally suitable for various biological applications, including preparing culture media, solutions for electrophoresis, and as a component in enzyme assays. Its high purity ensures that potential contaminants that could interfere with biological processes are minimized.
3. How should Magnesium Sulphate ER be stored to maintain its purity?
To maintain its purity and prevent degradation, Magnesium Sulphate ER should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, as it is hygroscopic.
4. Can Magnesium Sulphate ER be used as a drying agent?
While Magnesium Sulphate can act as a mild drying agent by absorbing water, its primary use in the lab is as a chemical reagent. Other compounds like anhydrous calcium chloride or molecular sieves are often preferred for more rigorous drying applications due to their higher capacity and efficiency.
5. What is the solubility of Magnesium Sulphate ER in water?
Magnesium Sulphate ER (heptahydrate form) is highly soluble in water. At room temperature (20°C), approximately 25.5 grams can dissolve in 100 mL of water, and its solubility increases with temperature, making it easy to prepare solutions for various laboratory needs.
