Calculate the mass of Mg that could be obtained by the process described in Study Question 13
Question:
Calculate the mass of Mg that could be obtained by the process described in Study Question 13 from 1.0 L of seawater. To prepare 100. kg of Mg, what volume of seawater would be needed? (The density of seawater is 1.025 g/cm3.)
Data given in Question 13
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.
