I still can't believe that Epsom Salt is mostly water

Summary by Krater

The creator attempts to extract and distill the chemically bound water from a four kilogram container of store-bought Epsom salt. Through distillation, filtering with activated charcoal and ion exchange resin, and reassembly, he successfully extracts over 1900 milliliters of water from the salt.

Answers: Can you extract water from Epsom salt?

• Epsom salt chemical composition
• Water distillation from magnesium sulfate heptahydrate
• Filtering distilled water with activated charcoal and ion exchange resin
• Crushing magnesium sulfate monohydrate

What it concludes

• Epsom salt is chemically bound to water, consisting mostly of water at around 53% by weight.
• Heating Epsom salt breaks its chemical bonds and allows the water to be distilled off.
• Filtered distilled water from Epsom salt has a bad taste and a strong sulfur smell due to sulfur contamination and impurities.
• Using activated charcoal and mixed ion exchange resin effectively removes the smell and neutralizes the pH of the extracted water.
• Extracting water from a four kilogram container of Epsom salt successfully yields over 1900 milliliters of water.
