Magnesium is used in lightweight alloys for airplane bod-ies and other structures. The metal is obtained from seawater ina process that includes precipitation, neutralization, evaporation,and electrolysis. How many kilograms of magnesium can be ob-tained from 1.00 km³ of seawater if the initial Mg²⁺ concentra-tion is 0.13% by mass (d of seawater= 1.04 g/mL)?
