Chapter 1.6, Problem 1.10YT
In addition to aluminum, other metals such as scandium and yttrium, known as rare earth metals, are also found in cell phones and most electronic devices. What are the natural sources of these metals, and in which parts of the world are these minerals found?

Differentiate between a mineral and an ore.
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)…
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?
