Chapter 21, Problem 30PS
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To calculate the equilibrium constant for the given reaction and explain why the given reaction is used in commercial isolation of magnesium from sea water.

Concept introduction:

The equilibrium constant is a quantity that relates the amount of product and reactant form at equilibrium at a given temperature. It is expressed as a ratio of molar concentrations of product over the reactants.

The equilibrium constant for any reaction is the reciprocal of the solubility product of that reaction. The solubility product is expressed by the symbol Ksp and is defined as the product of concentrations of the ions formed in the reaction.
