Textbook Question

Chapter 20, Problem 13PS

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.
