Although magnesium is plentiful in Earth's crust, it is cheaper to "mine" the metal from seawater. Magnesium forms the second most abundant cation in the sea (after sodium); there are about 1.30 g of magnesium in 1.00 kg of seawater. The method of obtaining magnesium from seawater employs all three types of reactions discussed in this chapter precipitation, acid-base, and redox reactions. In the first stage in the recovery of magnesium, limestone (CaCO3) is heated at high temperatures to produce quicklime, or calcium oxide (CaO): CaCO3(s) -----> CaO(s) + CO2a) When calcium oxide is treated with seawater, it forms calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)], which is slightly soluble and ionizes to give Ca2* and OH ions: CaO(s) + H2Om-> Ca (aq) +2 OH (aq) The surplus hydroxide ions cause the much less soluble magnesium hydroxide to precipitate: Mg (aq) + 2 OH (aq)…arrow_forward
