Frequently asked questions

What is Magnesium powder 16 used for?

Magnesium powder (CAS 7439-95-4) is widely used as a reagent in organic synthesis, most notably for preparing Grignard reagents, and as a reducing agent. PubChem also notes that magnesium has a biological role as a macronutrient.

What is the molecular formula and molecular weight?

The molecular formula is Mg and the molecular weight is 24.31.

How should Magnesium powder 16 be stored?

It is stored at ambient temperature. Because it releases flammable gas on contact with water (H261), keep it dry and away from moisture.

What are the main hazards?

It carries the signal word Danger and is a flammable solid (H228). It may self-heat and catch fire in large quantities (H252) and releases flammable gas in contact with water (H261).

Can Molekula supply Magnesium powder 16 in bulk?

Contact Molekula's sales team with your required quantity and packaging for bulk availability and pricing. Note that larger quantities are subject to the self-heating hazard (H252) and to the related shipping requirements.

What documentation comes with the order?

Please request the documentation you need, such as the Safety Data Sheet and Certificate of Analysis, from Molekula when placing your order.
