Make Magnesium Carbonate at Home | Chemistry For Kids 

thanks Rami!

thanks Marcus!

@@ChemTalk I combined 375g mgso4 with 200g oven prepared sodium carbonate to get 170g magnesium carbonate. I find the yield very low, what do you think can be done to improve yield? Would heating up the resulting solution after 170g of magnesium carbonate sieved out help?

@@marcusvos7060 what percent yield did you get, did you calculate it?

Thank you! We haven't tried to stabilize it yet

Thanks for watching. We agree, this is a very cool experiments for adults too, with or without kids around :)

Thanks for the comment! Let us know how the experiment goes. The change in mass should theoretically be (molar mass of sodium carbonate) / (2* molar mass of sodium bicarbonate). So it should lose just over a third of its mass. That could be bonus experiment #2.

Yeah, it's lots of fun - and then you have your own hand chalk!

Sodium bicarbonate to sodium carbonate!

Thanks Ethan! We look forward to seeing that video.

@@ChemTalk Thanks!

Ubaid, thanks so much, we've been excited to make this video for quite a while!

Sounds great, we are looking forward to them too!

It is magnesium carbonate, MgCO3. We suggest not easting anything from the chemistry lab

Thanks for watching, and for the nice comment! We also agree, that it is a great family experiment

Thanks Mel! We agree, easy yet complex enough to stimulate the brain of most people

Thanks Ryan, we try!

Sorry, we don't remember exactly, but it was a handful

Thank you! Music is always a tough choice

Thanks Sam, we think so too. More cool experiments on the way!

Not if you want to make magnesium carbonate

hi Eddy! The experiment was finished last year, there was no need to drink any.
