  • Magnesium Oxide
    National Organic Standards Board Crops Subcommittee Petitioned Material Checklist Magnesium Oxide August 6, 2013 Summary of Proposed Action: Magnesium Oxide (MgO) has been petitioned for use under §205.601 Synthetic substances allowed for use in organic crop production. Specifically, the petition states “Magnesium oxide is intended to be used to control the viscosity of a clay suspension agent to prevent settling of materials suspended in water or other liquids.” The petitioner indicates they wish to use MgO for the application of finely ground humates, but the petition is written more broadly: “The substance is intended to be used in combination with other organic inputs applied as a liquid foliar on a wide variety of different agricultural, vegetable, fruit, and horticultural crops.” The petitioner indicates they would use MgO at a very low level: at 0.074% of the humate suspension being applied, which would equate to 0.0007 to 0.0014 pounds of MgO applied per acre. Magnesium oxide occurs as the mineral magnesia, and in its hydrated form – magnesium hydroxide -- is the naturally occurring mineral periclase. Magnesium oxide appears to be a fairly benign compound that has a wide range of uses, including as an antacid and laxative (milk of magnesia), and in lots of industrial processes such as in producing cement, abrasive materials and furnace linings. There are several manufacturing processes used to produce MgO. It is commonly made from sea water or salt brines, but can also be made by heating MgCO3 limestone to drive off CO2 and produce MgO. (To produce MgO from sea water or salt brine uses the following procedure: The raw materials are lime and salt water -- either sea water or brine from salty wells.

  • Investigation I: Graphical Determination of a Physical Value
    2018-19 Chemistry 120/ Compound Prep & Analysis/Procedure 1 Investigation 3: Preparation and Analysis of a Compound Focus Questions: How can we determine the empirical formula of the potassium iron oxalate compound synthesized in lab? What is the percent yield of the synthesis reaction? Background Synthesizing compounds in the laboratory – especially those that are new, medically useful, or brightly colored – is an exciting facet of chemistry. However, determining the chemical formula of the compound produced can be a challenge. In this series of investigations, you will synthesize a complex compound and then use several techniques to determine the empirical formula of the compound. Overview The compound that will be synthesized has the general formula KaFeb(C2O4)c · dH2O, where a, b, c, and d, are integers that give the relative molar quantities of each component in the compound. The synthesized compound will be isolated by filtration and then analyzed for percent potassium, percent oxalate, and percent water, all over a period of several weeks. The percent iron will be found by difference once the percentages of the other three components are known. These percentages will then be used to calculate the empirical formula of the synthesized compound. Percent potassium determined by ion exchange Percent water determined followed by acid-base by dehydration titration KaFeb(C2O4)c · dH2O Percent iron determined by Percent oxalate determined difference after other three by reaction with cerium percentages are known Synthesis and Isolation of the Compound Preparation of NaOH Solution, Dehydration and Analysis for Potassium Pre-lab required reading Chemistry; an Atoms-Focused Approach: Sections 7.3-7.5, 7.7, and 8.5 – 8.8.

  • Magnesium for Constipation
    Magnesium for Constipation What is Magnesium Oxide? Magnesium is a mineral that the body uses to keep the organs functioning, particularly the kidneys, heart, and muscles. Magnesium can be obtained from foods such as green vegetables, nuts, and whole grain products. Though most people maintain adequate magnesium levels on their own, some disorders can lower magnesium levels, such as gastrointestinal disorders like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Magnesium helps to increase the amount of water in the intestines, which can help with bowel movements. It may be used as a laxative due to these properties, or as a supplement for magnesium deficiency. What is the dose amount? The maximum dose for Magnesium is 2 grams or 2000 milligrams. You should not take more than 4 tablets or capsules in one day. Magnesium comes in tablets and capsules (500 mg): take orally as directed by your doctor and take with a full 8-ounce glass of liquid. One Tablespoon of Milk of Magnesium is equal to 500 mg. Tablets/Caplets may be taken all at bedtime or separately throughout the day. Side Effects There can be many side effects related to the intake of oral Magnesium. Some of the frequent side effects include diarrhea. You should notify your doctor immediately if you have any of the following severe side effects: black, tarry stools nausea Michigan Bowel Control Program - 1 - slow reflexes vomit that looks like coffee grounds Where can I purchase Magnesium? You can find Magnesium over the counter at most stores that sell supplements and at pharmacies. It typically costs $5 for a 100-count bottle.
