Acetic acid, magnesium salt

Description:

Acetic acid, magnesium salt, also known as magnesium acetate, is an inorganic compound characterized by its white crystalline appearance and hygroscopic nature. It is the magnesium salt of acetic acid and is soluble in water, making it useful in various applications. This compound typically forms a tetrahydrate, which means it can incorporate water molecules into its structure. Magnesium acetate is often utilized in the food industry as a food additive and preservative, as well as in the production of textiles and as a drying agent in certain chemical processes. Additionally, it serves as a buffering agent in biochemical applications, helping to maintain pH stability in solutions. Its low toxicity and biodegradable properties make it an environmentally friendly option in various formulations. However, handling should still be done with care, as with any chemical substance, to avoid potential irritation or adverse reactions. Overall, magnesium acetate is valued for its versatility and functional properties in both industrial and laboratory settings.

Magnesium acetate anhydrous

CAS: 142-72-3

Magnesium acetate anhydrous is the magnesium salt of acetic acid and has been used as a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) buffer for DNA amplification. This product is also used in wastewater treatment to remove organic acids and carbonates from water. Magnesium acetate anhydrous has been shown to have a Langmuir adsorption isotherm that can be described by a single-site binding model with a Kd value of 2.8x10-2 M. The compound was found to bind to liver cells, which may be due to its hydroxyl group on the central atom of the molecule. Magnesium acetate anhydrous has been shown to have electrochemical impedance spectroscopy properties at Ω=1 MΩ-1, which are indicative of ionic conductivity and good chemical stability.
