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.
