10326-21-3 Usage
Description
Magnesium Chlorate is a white deliquescent crystalline solid or powder that is soluble in water and denser than water. It has a bitter taste and is very hygroscopic. It poses a dangerous fire risk when in contact with organic materials or heat and may be irritating to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. It is used to make other chemicals.
Uses
Used in Chemical Industry:
Magnesium Chlorate is used as a raw material for the production of other chemicals.
Used in Agricultural Industry:
Magnesium Chlorate is used as a defoliant and desiccant in agriculture, helping to remove leaves from plants and speed up the drying process, which can be beneficial for harvesting and crop management.
Reactions
Magnesium chlorate is a powerful oxidizer. There is
an explosive reaction with copper(I) sulfide, an incandescent
reaction with antimony(III) sulfide, arsenic(III)
sulfide, tin(II) sulfide, and tin(IV) sulfide. This salt is
incompatible with Al, As, C, Cu, MnO2, organic matter,
organic acids, phosphorus or sulfur. Mixtures with
ammonium salts, with powdered metals, silicon, sulfur,
or sulfides are readily ignited and potentially unstable,
even at room temperature.
A combination of finely divided aluminum and
magnesium chlorate can explode by heat, percussion,
or friction. Magnesium chlorate is readily available
commercially.
Air & Water Reactions
Soluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
MAGNESIUM CHLORATE is a powerful oxidizer. Explosive reaction with copper(I) sulfide. Incandescent reaction with antimony(III) sulfide, arsenic(III) sulfide, tin(II) sulfide, tin(IV) sulfide. Incompatible with Al, As, C, Cu, MnO2, organic matter, organic acids, P and S. [Lewis, 3rd Ed . 786] . Mixtures with ammonium salts, with powdered metals, silicon, sulfur, or sulfides are readily ignited and potentially explosive [Bretherick 1979. p. 806]. A combination of finely divided aluminum and MAGNESIUM CHLORATE can explode by heat, percussion, or friction [Mellor 2:310. 1946-47].
Health Hazard
Inhalation, ingestion or contact (skin, eyes) with vapors or substance may cause severe injury, burns or death. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
Fire Hazard
These substances will accelerate burning when involved in a fire. Some may decompose explosively when heated or involved in a fire. May explode from heat or contamination. Some will react explosively with hydrocarbons (fuels). May ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may create fire or explosion hazard.
Potential Exposure
Used as a drying agent and defoliant

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 10326-21-3 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 1,0,3,2 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 1 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 10326-21:
(7*1)+(6*0)+(5*3)+(4*2)+(3*6)+(2*2)+(1*1)=53
53 % 10 = 3
So 10326-21-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
