Useful:

• Chemical Classes: Metals -> Metals, Inorganic Compounds
• Canonical SMILES: [N+](=O)([O-])[O-].[N+](=O)([O-])[O-].[Mg+2]
• Inhalation Risk: A nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed.
• Effects of Short Term Exposure: May cause mechanical irritation to the eyes and respiratory tract. Ingestion could cause effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.
• Physical Properties: The anhydrous salt consists of white cubic crystals; density 2.3 g/cm3; very soluble in water. The dihydrate is white crystalline solid having density 1.45 g/cm3; decomposes at about 100°C; soluble in water and ethanol. The hexahydrate, MgNO3?6H2O is a colorless solid having monoclinic crystal structure and density 1.46 g/cm3. The salt is hygroscopic and very soluble in water and moderately soluble in ethanol.
• Description: Magnesium nitrate has the molecular formula of Mg(NO3)2 and the molecular weight of 148.3152 g/ mol. Magnesium nitrate is prepared by the action of nitric acid on magnesium carbonate, oxide or hydroxide: MgCO3 + 2HNO3 ? Mg(NO3)2 + CO2 +H2O Mg(OH)2 + 2HNO3 ? Mg(NO3)2 + 2H2O The salt crystallizing at room temperature after evaporation is the hexahydrate, Mg(NO3)2·6H2O. Two stable hydrates are formed, the hexahydrate [CAS number =13446-18-9] and the dihydrate, Mg(NO3)2· 2H2O [CAS number = 15750-45-5].
• Uses: In pyrotechnics; in the concentration of nitric acid. It is used in printing, chemical, agriculture and ceramics industries. Its fertilizer grade has 10.5% nitrogen and 9.4% magnesium.
