Magnesium perchlorate is a powerful oxidizing agent, with the formula Mg(ClO4)2. It is also a superior drying agent for gas analysis.
Magnesium perchlorate decomposes at 250 °C. The heat of formation is -568.90 kJ mol−1.The enthalpy of solution is quite high, so reactions are done in large amounts of water to dilute it.
It is used as a desiccant to dry gas or air samples but is no longer advised, for use as a general desiccant, due to hazards inherent in perchlorates. It is dried by heating at 220 °C under a vacuum. Magnesium perchlorate is produced by the reaction of magnesium hydroxide and perchloric acid.
Magnesium perchlorate and other perchlorates have been found on Mars. Being a drying agent, magnesium perchlorate retains water from the atmosphere and may release it when conditions are favorable and the temperature is above 273 K. Briny solutions that contain salts such as magnesium perchlorate have a lower melting point than that of pure water. Therefore the abundance of magnesium and other perchlorate salts on Mars could support the theory that liquid aqueous solutions might exist on or below the surface, where temperature and pressure conditions would ordinarily cause the water to freeze.
Magnesium perchlorate appears as a white crystalline solid. Strongly absorbs water from the air and dissolves in it. Accordingly, used as a regenerable drying agent. May explode under prolonged exposure to heat or fire.
