Hazard Predictions
- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
Weak acid-base reaction will generate a moderate amount of heat. Probably will not exceed 100 cal./gram threshold. Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.
Aqueous carbonic acid dissolves the protective magnesium oxide layer on magnesium metal or magnesium alloys and allows the metal to react with water (Aune, T. K., et al. 2003. Magnesium Alloys. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).
