MAGNESIUM PHOSPHATE DIBASIC EXTRA PURE
Dimagnesium phosphate is a compound with formula MgHPO4. It is a Mg2+ salt of monohydrogen phosphate. The trihydrate is well known, occurring as a mineral. It can be formed by reaction of stoichiometric quantities of magnesium oxide with phosphoric acid. ... Mg(H2PO4)2 + 3 H2O → Mg(HPO4)3H2O + H3PO.
Application
