Some magnesium chloride chemistry

Magnesium Chloride Formula is MgCl₂

Atomic weight of MgCl₂ is 95.3g.   Calculated as 24.3g (At.wt. of Mg)    +    2 x 35.5g (Atomic Weight of Chlorine)

Elemental magnesium is 23.16% of MgCl₂ =    i.e. 24.3 / 95.3 (i.e. total g in molecule = 24.3g+71g) x 100% of MgCl₂

How much elemental magnesium in a certain percentage MgCl₂ solution?

•    There are 560 mg elemental Mg in 1 teaspoon of a 33% MgCl₂ solution (This is the strength of Ancient Minerals Magnesium OIl™)

•     So there are “560 x ?/33 “mg of Magnesium in 1 teaspoon of ?% solution

E.g. In a 35.36% solution, there are 560*35.36/33 = 600 mg Elemental Magnesium

Magnesium Chloride flakes are:

•    47% MgCl₂

•    ~ 50.5% water.

1 cup Magnesium chloride flakes contains approx. 51g magnesium chloride
