Testing Water for Magnesium w/ Titration Kit

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for a magnesium concentration test kit for water used in drilling operations. The user seeks a simple testing method based on titration rather than complex photometric analysis. A suggested solution is an over-the-counter test kit, though it is noted to lack precision. For a more accurate approach, a referenced academic paper details a magnesium-specific titration method, addressing potential complicating factors that could affect results. This highlights the importance of choosing the right testing method to ensure accurate magnesium concentration measurements in drilling water.

In my work we are suffering now from a problem of magnesium in water that we are using for drilling, we need test kit to test magnesium oncentration
we could not use photometric analysis or any other complicated device we need method of testing depend on titration reaction
could anyone help me

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
