Question:

Although there are a number of magnesium-containing minerals, the commercial source of this metal is seawater. Treatment of seawater with Ca(OH)2 gives insoluble Mg(OH)2. This reacts with HCl to produce MgCl2, which is dried, and the metal is obtained by electrolysis of the molten salt. Write balanced net ionic equations for the three reactions described here.
