Magnesium is a valuable, lightweight metal. It is used as a structural metal and in alloys, in batteries, and in chemical synthesis. 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)…
