Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.88QP
Magnesium is used in alloys, in batteries, and in the manufacture of chemicals. It is obtained mostly from seawater, which contains about 1.3 g of magnesium for every kilogram of seawater. Referring to Problem 1.87, calculate the volume of seawater (in liters) needed to extract 8.0 × 104 tons of magnesium, which is roughly the annual production in the United States.

Some important notes:
• Draw the major product, or products, of the reaction in the drawing area below.
• If there aren't any products, because no reaction will take place, check the box below the drawing area instead.
• Be sure to use wedge and dash bonds when necessary, for example to distinguish between major products that are
enantiomers.
