Description | ||
|---|---|---|
Magnesium carbonate, MgCO3 (archaic name magnesia alba), is an inorganic salt that is a colorless or white solid. Several hydrated and basic forms of magnesium carbonate also exist as minerals. The most common magnesium carbonate forms are the anhydrous salt called magnesite (MgCO3), and the di, tri, and pentahydrates known as barringtonite (MgCO3·2H2O), nesquehonite (MgCO3·3H2O), and lansfordite (MgCO3·5H2O), respectively. Some basic forms such as artinite (Mg2CO3(OH)2·3H2O), hydro magnesite (Mg5(CO3)4(OH)2·4H2O), and dypingite (Mg5(CO3)4(OH)2·5H2O) also occur as minerals. All of those minerals are colorless or white. |
