The magnesium perchlorate is clearly a major contributing factor on the freezing point of this solution and paves the way for understanding how a fluid might exist under the sub-freezing ...

However, Hanley says magnesium perchlorate can depress the freezing point by 67 degrees Celsius. Perchlorate is so soluble in water, that the only place it can accumulate is in very dry regions.

Wadsworth and Cockell first steeped the bacteria in a watery solution of magnesium perchlorate, ... The irradiated cells in the perchlorate solution were completely sterilized within 30 seconds.

Martian soil may be less Earth-like than previously thought, but that doesn’t mean it can’t support life, NASA scientists said today. After rumors that NASA was about to announce an unexpected ...

Before proceeding to drying by evaporation in an all-glass high-vacuum apparatus of the Stock type, a preliminary treatment with magnesium perchlorate (‘Anhydrone’) was given.

Magnesium and calcium perchlorate, when dissolved in water, would lower its freezing point to a minimum of minus 68 degrees and minus 75 degrees Celsius (minus 92 and minus 103 degrees Fahrenheit ...
