'''Magnesium oxide''', or '''magnesia''', is a white solid [[mineral]] that occurs naturally as periclase and is a source of [[magnesium]]. See also [[oxide]].  It has an [[empirical formula]] of [[Magnesium|Mg]][[Oxygen|O]].  It is formed by an ionic bond between one magnesium and one oxygen atom. Magnesium oxide is easily made by burning magnesium ribbon which oxidizes in a bright white light, resulting in a powder. It is [[hygroscopic]] in nature and care must be taken to protect it from moisture. [[Magnesium hydroxide]] (Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub>), forms in the presence of water, but it can be reversed by heating it to separate moisture.


==Applications==
In medicine, magnesium oxide is used for relief for heartburn and sore stomach, as an antacid, magnesium supplement, and as a short-term [[laxative]]. It is also used to improve symptoms of indigestion. Side effects of magnesium oxide may include nausea and cramping.


It is used by many libraries for preserving books.
<!--Mechanism of Action-->
It is used as an insulator in industrial cables.
|mechAction=*


It is also used as a principal ingredient in construction materials used for fireproofing.
<!--Structure-->
|structure=* ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
: Magnesium Oxide 400mg (241.3mg elemental magnesium)


It is used as a reference white color in colorimetry. The emissivity value is about 0.9
* INACTIVE INGREDIENTS
: Colloidal silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid


Pressed MgO is used as an optical material. It is transparent from 300 nm to 7 µm. The [[refractive index]] is 1.72 at 1 µm. It is sometimes known by the Eastman Kodak trademarked name '''Irtran-5''', although this designation is long since obsolete. Crystalline pure MgO is available commercially and has small use in infrared optics.


Magnesium oxide is used extensively in electrical heating . There are several mesh sizes available and most commonly used ones are 40 and 80 mesh per the American Foundry Society. The extensive use is due to its high di-electric strength and average thermal conductivity. MgO is usually crushed and compacted with minimal airgaps or voids. The electrical heating industry also experimented with aluminium oxide, but it is not used anymore.


Magnesium oxide is also used in feeding animals and there are special grades available.

Magnesium oxide is also a promising insulator for use in devices that exhibit the Tunnel magnetoresistance effect. The crystal structure of MgO matches the crystal structure of [[iron]] and [[cobalt]].
