Water solubility
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- water solubility
- Type of information:
- other: handbook
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- data from handbook or collection of data
- Remarks:
- Data have been taken from many sources, including both compilations and the primary literature - where conflicts were found, the value deemed most reliable was chosen. The reference was peer-reviewed. In addition, the reference sources are indicated although not leading to sufficient information on the material & method used.
- Guideline:
- other: not mentioned
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Method followed unknown; data from handbook.
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Water solubility:
- 40.8 other: w%
- Temp.:
- 20 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: No data on pH in the handbook
- Water solubility:
- 41.6 other: w%
- Temp.:
- 25 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: No data on pH in the handbook
- Conclusions:
- From the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (80th ed.) it was concluded that magnesium nitrate in its anhydrous or dihydrated form is soluble (1000-10000 mg/L) in water and very soluble in water in its hexahydrated form.
- Endpoint:
- water solubility
- Type of information:
- other: Safety Card
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Reliability:
- 4 (not assignable)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- documentation insufficient for assessment
- Remarks:
- From International Chemical Safety Cards. There is no indication that the physico-chemical data has been ‘peer reviewed’. The reference source is not indicated leading to insufficient information on the material & method used.
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Method followed unknown; data from safety card.
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Key result
- Water solubility:
- > 10 000 mg/L
- Remarks on result:
- other: no methodological details were provided (handbook data)
- Conclusions:
- From ICSC nr: 1041 (Magnesium nitrate) it was concluded that magnesium nitrate (anhydrous) is very soluble (> 10000 mg/L) in water.
- Endpoint:
- water solubility
- Type of information:
- other: handbook
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- data from handbook or collection of data
- Remarks:
- Handbook data are considered from a trusted source. Data have been taken from many sources, including both compilations and the primary literature - where conflicts were found, the value deemed most reliable was chosen. The reference was peer-reviewed. In addition, the reference sources are indicated although not leading to sufficient information on the material & method used.

- Conclusions:
- According to the Merck Index (12th ed.) magnesium nitrate hexahydrate is very soluble (> 10000 mg/L) in water.
Referenceopen allclose all
Water solubility of dihydrate and hexahydrate: soluble and very soluble, resp.
Solubility in water: very good
The hexahydrate is soluble in 0.8 part water.
Description of key information
From two handbooks and ICSC 1041, it was concluded that magnesium nitrate (anhydrous and hydrated) is soluble (1-10 g/L) to very soluble (> 10 g/L) in water.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Water solubility:
- 10 g/L
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
