Question

Some ionic components of seawater are given in the following table:

Cation	Wt%	Anion	Wt%
Na	1.06	Cl	1.9
Mg	0.13	SO₄	0.26
Ca	0.04	HCO₃	0.01
K	0.04	Br	0.0065
Sr	0.01	F	0.0001

a) If the specific gravity of sea water is 1.03, what is the composition of the ions in ppm?
b) How much Mg(OH)₂ and NaCl could be recovered from a cubic km of seawater?
