Magnesium chloride is an inorganic substance in the form of colorless flaky crystals, which is commonly used in industry as magnesium chloride hexahydrate. It is neutral when dissolved in water, and in industry, it is usually extracted from seawater by injecting seawater into a series of precipitation tanks, and after being exposed to the wind and sun, the magnesium chloride in the seawater will be crystallized, and then heated and evaporated to get magnesium chloride.
The process of dissolving magnesium chloride in water is exothermic, due to the fact that magnesium chloride ionizes during dissolution, producing free-moving ions. This process requires the absorption of heat, but it also releases heat energy. This released heat energy is due to the fact that during the dissolution process of magnesium chloride, the chemical bonds between its molecules are broken, creating free-moving ions. These ions move quickly through the water and collide with water molecules, thus releasing heat energy.
In addition, the solubility of magnesium chloride is also related to the exothermic process of its dissolution in water. Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved by a given amount of solvent at a given temperature and pressure. The solubility of magnesium chloride decreases with increasing temperature because the heat energy released during the dissolution process increases the temperature of the solvent, thus affecting the solubility.
