AI Generated Solution

To determine the end product when hydrated magnesium chloride (MgCl₂·6H₂O) is heated in a stream of hydrochloric acid (HCl) gas, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: The reactant in this case is hydrated magnesium chloride, which has the formula MgCl₂·6H₂O. This means that each formula unit of magnesium chloride is associated with six water molecules. 2. **Heating the Hydrate**: ...

Dow's process of extraction of Mg involves extraction of Mg from sea water. Sea water is concentrated in sun-light and is then treated with slaked lime. Magnesium hydroxide is heated in a stream of HCl to give MgCl_(2) which is electrolysed to discharge Mg. The mixture is in the ratio 35% MgCl_(2)+50% NaCl+15% CaCl_(2) . NaCl and CaCl_(2) are added to lower the fusion temperature and to increases the conductance.
