Question
Chapter 18, Problem 85E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason as to why operation of the Haber’s process at the lower yield is economically more favorable is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
A reaction is said to be in equilibrium if the rate at which the forward reaction takes place becomes equal to the rate at which the backward reaction takes place. If any of the factors that affect the equilibrium changes, then the reaction shifts in either forward or backward direction so that the equilibrium condition is reestablished.

10. A novel process for obtaining magnesium from sea water involves several reactions. Write a balanced chemical equation for each step of the process.
(a) The first step is the decomposition of solid calcium carbonate from seashells to form solid calcium oxide and gaseous carbon dioxide.
(b) The second step is the formation of solid calcium hydroxide as the only product from the reaction of the solid calcium oxide with liquid water.
(c) Solid calcium hydroxide is then added to the seawater, reacting with dissolved magnesium chloride to yield solid magnesium hydroxide and aqueous calcium chloride.
(d) The solid magnesium hydroxide is added to a hydrochloric acid solution, producing dissolved magnesium chloride and liquid water.
(e) Finally, the magnesium chloride is melted and electrolyzed to yield liquid magnesium metal and diatomic chlorinegas.

Instead of magnesium ribbon, the students were to use 0.029 g of aluminum foil. They prepared the eudiometer by adding 6M HCI and filling it with water to the brim. Once the setup was complete, they performed the experiment. Note that the aluminum was completely consumed in the reaction. From the experiment, it was found that the external pressure was 1.05 atm at 30.0 °C, and the volume of the air inside the eudiometer was 33.5 mL.
