Textbook Question

Chapter 20, Problem 11PS

Although there are a number of magnesium-containing minerals, the commercial source of this metal is seawater. Treatment of seawater with Ca(OH)₂ gives insoluble Mg(OH)₂. This reacts with HCI to produce MgCl₂, which is dried, and the metal is obtained by electrolysis of the molten salt. Write balanced net ionic equations for the three reactions described here.

State three photophysical processes that can be related to the effects of incident radiation on a molecule in its ground state. Consider that radiation can give rise to fluorescent emission, but not phosphorescent emission.

In a photochemical reaction, how is the rate of the process related to its quantum yield?

Primary and global quantum yields in photochemistry. Define them and give their formulas. Differentiate between them.
