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 the added to the sea water, 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 chlorine gas.
Uranium can be isolated from its ores by dissolving it as UO2(NO3)2, then separating it as solid UO2(C2O4). Addition of 0.4031 g of sodium oxalate, NaC2O4, to a solution containing 1.481 g of uranyl nitrate, UO2(NO3)2, yields 1.073 g of solid
\(Na{C_2}{O_4} + U{O_2}{\left( {N{O_3}} \right)_2} + 3{H_2}O \to U{O_2}\left( {{C_2}{O_4}} \right) \cdot 3{H_2}O + 2NaN{O_3}\)
Identify the atoms that are oxidized and reduced, the change in the oxidation state for each, and the oxidizing and reducing agents in each of the following equations:
(a)\(Mg\left( s \right) + NiC{l_2}\left( {aq} \right) \to MgC{l_2}\left( {aq} \right) + Ni\left( s \right)\)
(b)\(PC{l_3}\left( l \right) + C{l_2}\left( g \right) \to PC{l_5}\left( s \right)\)
(c)\({C_2}{H_4}\left( g \right) + 3{O_2}\left( g \right) \to 2C{O_2}\left( g \right) + 2{H_2}O\left( g \right)\)
(d)\(Zn\left( s \right) + {H_2}S{O_4}\left( {aq} \right) \to ZnS{O_4}\left( {aq} \right) + {H_2}\left( g \right)\)
(e) \(2{K_2}{S_2}{O_3}\left( s \right) + {I_2}\left( s \right) \to {K_2}{S_4}{O_6}\left( s \right) + 2KI\left( s \right)\)
(f) \(3Cu\left( s \right) + 8HN{O_3}\left( {aq} \right) \to 3Cu{\left( {N{O_3}} \right)_2}\left( {aq} \right) + 2NO\left( g \right) + 4{H_2}O\left( l \right)\)
