Magnesium chloride: 81,95 g are obtained.


What metal is used to extract titanium from its ore?

The straight simple answer is sodium metal and also magnesium. Titanium ore is usually reacted with chlorine to produce TiCl4 often known as "tickle four". This is very volatile which makes it easy to purify by distillation. The purified tickle four is now reacted with sodium metal to produce sodium chloride and titanium sponge. TiCl4 + 4Na ------> 4NaCl + Ti However, other reactive metals are often used such as magnesium which in many ways is far easier to handle than sodium.


What salt would be formed if you reacted magnesium with hydrochloric acid?

What is the theory yield of magnesium chloride when 5.6 grams of magnesium is reacted with elemental chlorine there is an excess of elemental chlorine the 5.60g magnesium is the limiting reactant?

magnesium + chlorine --> magnesium chloride Mg (s) + Cl2 (g) --> MgCl2 (s) 5.60 g Mg x 1 mol Mg x 1 mol MgCl2 x 95.21 g MgCl2 = 21.9 g MgCl2 ..................24.31 g Mg. 1 mol Mg........ 1 mol MgCl2


How do you calculate what mass of magnesium chloride is formed when 54.75g of HCl is reacted with sufficient magnesium?

By starting with a balanced equation. Mg + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + H2 when they say sufficient magnesium they imply that magnesium is in excess and HCl limits and drives the reaction, or that both are equal in molarity/mass 54.75 g HCl (1 mole HCl/36.458 g)(1 mole MgCl2/2 mole HCl)(95.21 g/1 mole MgCl2) = 71.49 grams magnesium chloride produced -----------------------------------------------------------
