  • Your equations are messed up as you have the wrong formulas. Because bismuth and magnesium ions are bivalent, they donate 2 electrons to the chlorides, which can only ACCEPT one - so;

    Bismuth Chloride=BiCl2

    Magnesium Chloride=MgCl2

  • oh wait, nevermind, i was thinking of AlO.

  • doesn't Al make insoluble AlCl? You would have it mixed into the bismuth precipitate. Mg would make soluble MgCl that can be washed out.

  • @jamjarchemistry Use Al no need to waste Mg on that.

  • @MrLol333 there must be another medicine with the same active chemical...
