How do you separate magnesium strontium barium?

Answer 1

You can separate magnesium, strontium, and barium using a process called ion exchange chromatography. This technique uses a stationary phase containing specific ions that selectively bind to the metal ions, allowing for their separation based on differences in affinity. By passing a sample containing magnesium, strontium, and barium through the column, the ions can be eluted sequentially based on their interaction with the stationary phase.
