Magnesium oxide in fact is soluble in water but very little. it means that if you put magnesium in water and fitrate and repeat this a few times you can realize that you don"t have the same amount that you started with.
the reason why magnesium oxide is less soluble in water than other metals oxide, is due to the intramolecualr force within the magnesium oxide compound. In fact, magnesium oxide is very small, and the attaction forces are very strong to be broke apart when reacted with water.

∙ 14y agoWell...Magnesium sulfate actually does dissolve in water- you simply have to heat up the water.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoMagnesium sulfate dissolves in water because the attraction of magnesium ions and sulfate ions for water molecules is greater than the attraction of magnesium ions for sulfate ions.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, it is. Solubilty of magnesium sulfate in water is:
26.9 g/100 mL (0 °C)
25.5 g/100 mL (20 °C), which is LESS! at higher temperature!

Is magnesium the same as magnesium oxide?
No. They are two completely different substances. Magnesium chloride (MgCl2) is a water soluble compound of magnesium and chlorine. Magnesium oxide is a water insoluble compound of magnesium and oxygen.
Is magnesium oxide aqueous?
No. Magnesium oxide is not soluble in water. On contact with water it will form magnesium hydroxide.
What happens when magnesium oxide is added to water the salt will be?
Magnesium oxide react with water and magnesium hydroxide is formed.

What happens when iron oxide is mixed with water?
Iron oxide (Fe2O3) in insoluble in water.
Is magnesium and magnesium oxide the same?
No, magnesium oxide consists of positive magnesium ions (Mg2+) and negative oxide (O2-) ions. It is a white powder. Magnesium and oxygen are to separate substances. Magnesium consists of neutral magnesium atoms (Mg). It is a silvery metal. Oxygen consists of neutral oxygen molecules (O2) it is a colorless gas.
Would magnesium oxide make an alkali?
Yes. Magnesium oxide will react with water to form magnesium hydroxide.
What happens to iron oxide when it is dissolved?
Iron oxide (Fe2O3) in insoluble in water.
