About Magnesium Hydroxide
Magnesium Hydroxide is an organic chemical compound having a molecular formula Mg(OH)2 and molar mass of 58.31 grams per mol. It naturally occur as a mineral brucite which is white solid. It is a non-hazardous alkali substance that are mainly used in neutralizing the acidic nature of wastewater. Magnesium Hydroxide has a poor solubility in liquids like water and alcohol. It is professional use chemical that can only be used in laboratories and industries. The powder has a density of 2.36 gram per cubic centimeter. It can also be used as an antacid to give relief against problems like constipation, indigestion, sour stomach, and heartburn.
