The hydrates of the salts lose water at different temperatures during decomposition. [12] For example, in the trihydrate MgCO 3 ·3H 2 O, which molecular formula may be written as Mg(HCO 3)(OH)·2H 2 O, the dehydration steps occur at 157 °C and 179 °C as follows: [12] Mg(HCO 3)(OH)·2(H 2 O) → Mg(HCO 3)(OH)·(H 2 O) + H 2 O at 157 °C
Magnesium oxide (Mg O), or magnesia, is a white hygroscopic solid mineral that occurs naturally as periclase and is a source of magnesium (see also oxide).It has an empirical formula of MgO and consists of a lattice of Mg 2+ ions and O 2− ions held together by ionic bonding.
It can be formed through the reaction of dilute solutions of carbonic acid (such as seltzer water) and magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia). It can be prepared through the synthesis of magnesium acetate and sodium bicarbonate: Mg(CH 3 COO) 2 + 2 NaHCO 3 → Mg(HCO 3) 2 + 2 CH 3 COONa. Magnesium bicarbonate exists only in aqueous solution.

A Assuming an altitude of 194 metres above mean sea level (the worldwide median altitude of human habitation), an indoor temperature of 23 °C, a dewpoint of 9 °C (40.85% relative humidity), and 760 mmHg sea level–corrected barometric pressure (molar water vapor content = 1.16%). B Calculated values *Derived data by calculation.
Molecular weight (M.W.) (for molecular compounds) and formula weight (F.W.) (for non-molecular compounds), are older terms for what is now more correctly called the relative molar mass (M r). [8] This is a dimensionless quantity (i.e., a pure number, without units) equal to the molar mass divided by the molar mass constant .
The terms "molecular mass", "molecular weight", and "molar mass" may be used interchangeably in less formal contexts where unit- and quantity-correctness is not needed. The molecular mass is more commonly used when referring to the mass of a single or specific well-defined molecule and less commonly than molecular weight when referring to a ...
