a. Consider this imaginary and simplified process to produce finished magnesium coins from magnesium ore: (5 marks)
Magnesman Cre
Finished 5.oums

Calculate the mass of each materiai ( Mg ore, Mg, Mg bars and rough coins) required to produce 1000 metric tons of finished coins. Embodied energy of magnesium =315MJkg
i. How does the embodied energy compare with the total processing energy when manufacturing 1000 metric tons of finished magnesium coins? Calculate the difference in percentage.
ii. If magnesium is replaced with 50% recycled Mg with recycling demanding 110 th of energy requirement compared to refining, what will be the embodied energy of the finished coins now?
a . Consider this imaginary and simplified
