mirabilite (mineral, inorganic material, ... Materials (hierarchy name))

 

Note: A hydrated mineral form of sodium sulfate, the sodium salt of sulfuric acid, occuring in nature as colorless prismatic crystals near salt water springs or lakes, and in caves. Mirabilite is unstable and quickly dehydrates when exposed to dry air, turning into the powder thenardite. It owes its name to Johann Rudolph Glauber who dubbed it “sal mirabile” (“wonderful salt”) when he inadvertently synthesized it while working with sulfuric acid and salt. It is also known as Glauber’s salt.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Een gehydrateerde minerale vorm van natriumsulfaat, het natriumzout van zwavelzuur, dat van nature voorkomt als kleurloze prismakristallen in de buurt van zoutwaterbronnen of -meren, en in grotten. Mirabiliet is instabiel en dehydrateert snel wanneer het aan droge lucht wordt blootgesteld. Het verandert dan in het poeder thenardiet. Het dankt zijn naam aan Johann Rudolph Glauber, die het 'sal mirabile' ('wonderzout') noemde, toen hij het onbedoeld synthetiseerde terwijl hij met zwavelzuur en zout werkte. Het wordt ook wel glauberzout genoemd.
