Sodium acetate is a sodium salt of acetic acid with the chemical formula CH₃COONa. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water and has a faint odor similar to vinegar due to its acetic acid component. Sodium acetate is commonly encountered in its anhydrous form or as a trihydrate (CH₃COONa·3H₂O). It … Read more

Sodium thiosulfate, also known as hyposulfite or simply “hypo”, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na₂S₂O₃. It commonly occurs as a pentahydrate (Na₂S₂O₃·5H₂O), which forms colorless, transparent crystals that are soluble in water. The compound is widely used in laboratories, photography, medicine, and water treatment. Sodium thiosulfate is best known for its ability … Read more

Magnesium gluconate, with the chemical formula Mg(C₆H₁₁O₇)₂, is an organic salt formed from magnesium and gluconic acid. It is a white to off-white, odorless powder or crystalline solid, often encountered as a hydrate (e.g., dihydrate, Mg(C₆H₁₁O₇)₂·2H₂O). Highly bioavailable, it is one of the most readily absorbed forms of magnesium, making it a preferred choice for … Read more

Description Magnesium lactate, with the chemical formula Mg(C₃H₅O₃)₂, is an inorganic salt derived from magnesium and lactic acid, often encountered as a dihydrate (Mg(C₃H₅O₃)₂·2H₂O) or trihydrate form. It is a white, crystalline powder that serves as a bioavailable source of magnesium, an essential mineral for bodily functions such as heart rhythm, nerve transmission, and muscle … Read more

Description Magnesium bromide (MgBr₂) is an inorganic ionic compound consisting of magnesium cations (Mg²⁺) and bromide anions (Br⁻). It exists in anhydrous form as a white, crystalline solid and is highly hygroscopic, readily absorbing moisture from the air to form hydrates such as magnesium bromide hexahydrate (MgBr₂·6H₂O), where the hydration level (x in MgBr₂·xH₂O) can … Read more

Magnesium fluoride (MgF₂) is an inorganic ionic compound composed of one magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) and two fluoride anions (F⁻), with the chemical formula MgF₂. It appears as a white, crystalline solid and is naturally occurring as the mineral sellaite. Known for its high transparency to ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light, magnesium fluoride is a … Read more

The term calcium phosphate refers to a family of materials and minerals containing calcium ions (Ca2+) together with inorganic phosphate anions. Some so-called calcium phosphates contain oxide and hydroxides as well. Calcium phosphates are white solids of nutritional value and are found in many living organisms, e.g., bone mineral and tooth enamel. In milk, it exists in a colloidal form in micelles bound to casein protein … Read more

Magnesium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Mg(OH)₂. It occurs in nature as the mineral brucite. It is a white solid with low solubility in water. Magnesium hydroxide is a common component of antacids, such as milk of magnesia. Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂) Structure The structure of magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)₂, can be described … Read more
