Question

magnesium is an active metal if it occurs as a chloride in nature which method of production is suitable for affects extraction​

Answer 1

Answer:

electromagnetic processes

Explanation:

Electrochemical processes are used to extract the metal from dolomite and magnesite ore. When dolomite is crushed, roasted and mixed with seawater in large tanks, magnesium hydroxide settles to the bottom. Heating, mixing in coke, and reacting with chlorine, then produces molten magnesium chloride. This can be electrolyzed, releasing magnesium, which floats to the surface.

Answer 2

Answer:

Magnesium being a highly reactive metal is separated from its salt, Magnesium Chloride, is obtained by Electrolytic Reduction.

The Salt magnesium is Made into its molten state in prder to separate it from MgCl₂

Cathode: (Mg²+)+2e-→Mg (Reduction)

Anode: (2Cl-)→Cl₂↑+2e- (Oxidation)

so, MgCl₂→(electricity)→Mg+Cl₂↑

Magnesium Deposits at The cathode in its separated and purified form.
