Question
Chapter 21, Problem 21.33SP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for magnesium not suitable for reduction method has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
- Reduction of an ore can be done by chemical reduction or
electrolysis . - It depends on metal activity which is determined by standard reduction potential of metals.
- The most active metals are hard to reduce because of its negative standard reduction potential.
- The least active metals are easy to reduce because of its positive standard reduction potential.
- A table defines reduction methods of various metal ores is given as follows
