Chapter 4, Problem 4.137MP
Some metals occur naturally in their elemental state while others occur as compounds in ores. Gold for instance, is found as the free metal; mercury is obtained by heating mercury(II) sulfide ore in oxygen; and zinc is obtained by heating zinc(ll) oxide ore with coke (carbon). Judging from their positions in the activity series, which of the metals silver, platinum, and chromium would probably be obtained by
(a) finding it in its elemental stare?
(b) heating its sulfide with oxygen?
(c) heating its oxide with coke?

The elements of Group 1-B (Cu, Ag, and Au) are sometimes referred to as the “coinage metals.” Why? What properties do they have that make them particularly useful for this purpose?
Magnesium is a valuable, lightweight metal. It is used as a structural metal and in alloys, in batteries, and in chemical synthesis. Although
magnesium is plentiful in Earth's crust, it is cheaper to "mine" the metal from seawater. Magnesium forms the second most abundant cation in
the sea (after sodium); there are about 1.30 g of magnesium in 1.00 kg of seawater. The method of obtaining magnesium from seawater
employs all three types of reactions discussed in this chapter precipitation, acid-base, and redox reactions. In the first stage in the recovery of
magnesium, limestone (CaCO3) is heated at high temperatures to produce quicklime, or calcium oxide (CaO):
CaCO3(s)
-----> CaO(s) + CO2a)
When calcium oxide is treated with seawater, it forms calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)], which is slightly soluble and ionizes to give Ca2* and OH
ions:
CaO(s) + H2Om-> Ca (aq)
+2 OH (aq)
The surplus hydroxide ions cause the much less soluble magnesium hydroxide to precipitate:
Mg (aq)
+ 2 OH (aq)…
When an aqueous solution of nickel(II) bromide, NiBr2, is added to an
aqueous solution of potassium sulfide, K2S, a precipitate of nickel(II)
sulfide, NiS, forms. Write a balanced net ionic equation for this reaction.
