Check the listing for details. Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate. Condition: New. Listed at 20.24 USD. White crystalline, hygroscopic powder•Product ID : 100AC23•Purity : 99-100%•CAS : 16674-78-5•Molecular formula : C4H14MgO8•MW : 214.45g/mol•MP : 78-82C•Solubility : 1.0-1.3kg/L Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate, Mg(CH3COO)2·4H2O, is an ideal precursor for the synthesis of antimicrobial magnesium fluoride or oxide nanoparticles due to its exceptional solubility in water (1-1.3kg/L) and methanol (5.1-5.3kg/L). It is also routinely used as an intermediate, electrolyte, catalyst and analytical reagent in wet chemistry. In biochemical applications, Mg(CH3COO)2·4H2O is used as source of magnesium ions as a precipitant in protein purification.Exemplary uses are summarized as follows:•Non-chloride salting out electrolyte•MgF2 nanoparticles precursor•Negative staining ingredient•Magnesium oxide precursor•deicer, replacing corrosive chloride salts•SOx and NOx absorbent•Precursor for solvated supramolecules such as Mg(OAc)2·(H2O)3·(EtOH), Mg3(OAc)6·2EtOH, etc.
