MgSO3s
MgSO3s is a chemical formula that could represent magnesium sulfite. Magnesium sulfite is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula MgSO3. It is a salt formed from the cation magnesium (Mg^2+) and the sulfite anion (SO3^2-). Magnesium sulfite typically exists as a white solid and is relatively insoluble in water. It can be prepared by reacting magnesium oxide or magnesium hydroxide with sulfurous acid. It is an anhydrous salt, but it can also form hydrates. Magnesium sulfite has found some limited applications, including in the paper industry and as a reducing agent. It is generally considered to be non-toxic. The properties of MgSO3s are dependent on its specific hydration state and purity.
