Write the reactions involved during the extraction of magnesium from seawater by electrolytic reduction?

Answer»

Answer:

MAGNESIUM from its salts like Magnesium CHLORIDE (MgCl₂) is extracted by electrolytic reduction.

Cathode: Mg²+ + 2e-→Mg..(reduction)

ANODE: 2Cl- →Cl₂+ 2e-........(OXIDATION)

MgCl₂→(ELECTRICITY)→Mg+Cl₂↑
