Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 49GQ
Spinels are solids with the general formula AB2O4 (where A2+ and B3+ are metal cations of the same or different metals). The best-known example is common magnetite, Fe3O4 [which you can formulate as (Fe2+)(Fe3+)2O4]. Another example is the mineral often referred to as spinel, MgAl2O4.
A crystal of the spinel MgAl2O4
The oxide ions of spinels form a face-centered cubic lattice. In a normal spinel, cations occupy ⅛ of the tetrahedral sites and ½ of the octahedral sites.
- (a) In MgAl2O4, in what types of holes are the magnesium and aluminum ions found?
- (b) The mineral chromite has the formula FeCr2O4. What ions are involved, and in what types of holes are they found?

Suppose the rate of evaporation in a hot, dry region is 1.76 meters per year, and the seawater there has a salinity of 35 ‰. Assuming a 93% yield, how much salt (NaCl) can be harvested each year from 1 km2 of solar evaporation ponds that use this seawater as a source?
