There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

Are you able to determine the density of the powder you have by measuring a known volume and weighing it? And then compare this density to the molar mass of the compounds in question?
Also not quite what you’re asking, but do note that Magnesium Glycinate and Magnesium Bisglycinate are chemically different even though some brands market them as the same. If you’re taking this for health reasons, Magnesium is the active ingredient and the glycinate helps your body absorb it; bisglycinate is more effective at the absorption but you get significantly less Magnesium per serving/molar mass. Disclaimer: not a doctor/scientist but I have tried and researched both for my own health usage
If you’re concerned about the taste, Mg glycinate/bisglycinate/citrate are all available in pill capsule (and I think flavored gummy?) form.
