'''Magnesium nitrate''' is a ] ] with the formula Mg(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>. In air, it quickly forms the ] with the formula Mg(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>·6H<sub>2</sub>O (and molar weight of 256.41 g/mol). It is very ] in both water and ]. '''Magnesium nitrate''' refers to ]s with the formula Mg(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>x</sub>, where x = 6, 2, and 0. All are white solids.<ref name=Ullmann/> The anhydrous material is ], quickly forming the ] upon standing in air. All of the salts are very ] in both ] and ].


==Occurrence, preparation, structure==
==Uses==
Being highly water-soluble, magnesium nitrate occurs naturally only in ] and ] as ''nitromagnesite'' (hexahydrate form).<ref>Mindat, http://www.mindat.org/min-2920.html</ref>
Magnesium nitrate occurs in ] and ] as ''nitromagnesite''. This form is not common, although it may be present where ] contacts magnesium-rich ]. It is used in the ]s, ], ] and ] industries. Its ] grade has 10.5% ] and 9.4% ], so it is listed as ] + 9.4% Mg. Fertilizer blends containing magnesium nitrate usually have ], ], ] and ]; these blends are used in the ] and ] trade.


The magnesium nitrate used in commerce is made by the reaction of ] and various magnesium salts.
==Production==
The magnesium nitrate used in commerce is a man-made product. It can be synthesized in a variety of ways. The reaction between ] and ] metal

] and ] also react to form magnesium nitrate as ] is released as a by-product.

==Reactions== ==Reactions==
Magnesium Nitrates with metal alkaline to form the corresponding nitrate Magnesium nitrate reacts with alkali metal hydroxide to form the corresponding nitrate:


: Mg(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub> + NaOH → 2 Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> + NaNO<sub>3</sub> : Mg(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub> + 2 NaOH → Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub> + 2 NaNO<sub>3</sub>.


Since magnesium nitrate has a high affinity for water, heating the ] does not result in the ] of the salt. Instead, magnesium nitrate ] decomposes into ], ], and ]s. Since magnesium nitrate has a high affinity for water, heating the ] does not result in the ] of the salt, but rather its decomposition into ], ], and ]s:
:2 Mg(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub> → 2 MgO + 4 NO<sub>2</sub> + O<sub>2</sub>.
The absorption of these ]s in water is one possible route to synthesize ]. Although inefficient, this method does not require the use of any ].


It is also occasionally used as a desiccant.
:2 Mg(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub> → 2 MgO + 4 NO<sub>2</sub> + O<sub>2</sub>

The absorption of these ]s in water is one possible route way to synthesize ]. Although it is inefficient, it does not require the use of another ].

] magnesium nitrate is also used to increase the concentration of ] past its ] of approximately 68% ] and 32% water. It is also occasionally used as a ].
