Information not clear or not correct
In the article is written "Another method to prepare MgI2 is mixing powdered elemental iodine and magnesium metal powder and then adding few drops of water on it. Both of these reactants should be extremely dry, otherwise they'll start to reacting immediately before the water is added" Why is it water necessary? they react also without water! Why should they be dry if you are going to add water? water in the reagent is the same water that you add! If you want to obtain anhydrous MgI2 you've to use for example dry ethyl ether as solvent! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Childrenight (talk • contribs) 16:18, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
