Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the content of magnesium in magnesium-chloride and magne- sium-sulfate using the gravimetric analysis method, and to do the comparison of experimental results with calculations, stoichiometric calculation. Magnesium is one of the least present minerals in the soil and that is why, even in a well- balanced diet, a lack of magnesium is present. It is of great importance for the human body and is increasingly consumed using different nutritional supplements. Magnesium-chloride is one of the best forms for the compensation magnesium in the body, because the body absorbs it the best.

Keywords: gravimetric method of analysis, magnesium, magnesium-chloride
