Magnesium perchlorate was first prepared by Serullas. 2 A more de-tailed study of this substance was made by Weinlandand Ensgraber, 3 who prepared the hydrate, Mg (C104) 2.6 H20, by drying the sample in a vacuum over phosphorus pentoxide. They failed to note that this treat-ment yields finally the lower hydrate, Mg (C104) 2· 3H20, because the de-hydration is rather slow even in its early stages. No mention of this second hydrate was found in the literature.Preparation of Magnesium Perchlorate Hexahydrate The purest imported magnesium oxide was treated with a slight excess of pure dil. perchloric acid, which was prepared by the method of Willard. 4 The solution thus formed was evaporated until crystallization began at the surface and fumes of perchloric acid were being given off. The mix-ture was then allowed to cool to room temperature with the addition of sufficient water to keep thecrystal mass semifluid. After centrifugal drainage the product, containing but a slight amount of perchloric acid, was redissolved, recrystallized, and again centrifuged. The needle-like crystals thus obtained were shown by spectroscopic examination to con-tain no calcium or barium in spite of the fact that the oxide employed in their preparation was similarly shown to contain traces of these impurities.
