What mass of magnesium forms when 100,000 A is passed through a MgCl2 melt for 1.00 h if the yield of magnesium is 85% 0f the theoretical yield?
A slag sample is known to contain all of its iron in the forms of FeO and Fe2O3. A sample of 1,000 g of the slag was dissolved in hydrochloric acid according to the usual method, then reduced with stannous chloride and finally titrated with a 0.02237 M solution of potassium permanganate, of which 28.59 mL were used. A second aliquot of the slag sample, weighing 1,500, was dissolved in a nitrogen atmosphere to further adjust the oxidation state of the iron, it was immediately titrated with the same potassium permanganate solution. If this second experiment required 15.60 mL of permanganate solution, calculate: a) The percentage of total iron in the slag. b) The percentages of the oxide FeO and Fe2O3
Several transition metals are prepared by reduction of themetal halide with magnesium. Titanium is prepared by the Krollmethod, in which ore (ilmenite) is converted to the gaseous chlo-ride, which is then reduced to Ti metal by molten Mg. Assuming yields of 84% for step 1 and 93% for step 2,and an excess of the other reactants, what mass of Ti metal canbe prepared from 21.5 metric tons of ilmenite?

World production of chromite (FeCr₂O₄), the main ore ofchromium, was 1.5107metric tons in 2003. To isolate chro-mium, a mixture of chromite and sodium carbonate is heated inair to form sodium chromate, iron(III) oxide, and carbon diox-ide. The sodium chromate is dissolved in water, and this solutionis acidified with sulfuric acid to produce the less soluble sodiumdichromate. The sodium dichromate is filtered out and reduced with carbon to produce chromium(III) oxide, sodium carbonate,and carbon monoxide. The chromium(III) oxide is then reduced to chromium with aluminum metal. (a) Write balanced equations for each step. (b) What mass of chromium (in kg) could be pre-pared from the 2003 world production of chromite?
When aluminum replaces up to half of the silicon atomsin SiO2, a mineral class called feldspars result. The feldspars are the most abundant rock-forming minerals, comprisingabout 50% of the minerals in Earth’s crust. Orthoclase is afeldspar in which Al replaces one-fourth of the Si atoms ofSiO2, and charge balance is completed by K+ ions. Determinethe chemical formula for orthoclase.
