What happens when magnesium sulfate mixed with epsom salt?
Nothing will happen. Epsom salt is a heptahydrate of Magnesium sulfate, MgSO4·7H2O. That’s how you encounter Magnesium sulfate in nature, not as pure Magnesium sulfate, MgSO4. Here is some info taken from Wikipedia -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_sulfate Magnesium sulfate is a chemical compound containing magnesium and sulfate, with the formula MgSO4. In its hydrated form the pH is 6.0 (5.5 to 7.0). It is often encountered as the heptahydrate, MgSO4·7H2O, commonly called Epsom salt. Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is used as a drying agent. Since the anhydrous form is hygroscopic (readily absorbs water from the air) and therefore harder to weigh accurately, the hydrate is often preferred when preparing solutions, for example in medical preparations. Epsom salt has been traditionaly used as a component of bath salts. Properties: ————- Magnesium sulfate is the primary substance that causes the absor
