Give briefly the isolation of magnesium from sea water by the Dow process. Give equations for the steps involved.

What weight of the non-volatile solute, urea(NH₂ - CO - NH₂) needs to be dissolved in 100g of water, in order to decrease the vapour pressure of water by 25%? What will be the molality of the solution?

The standard reduction potential for the half-cell
$$NO_3^-$$ + 2H⁺ (aq) + e $$\to$$ NO₂ (g) + H₂O is 0.78 V
(i) Calculate the reduction potential in 8 M H⁺
(ii) What will be the reduction potential of the half-cell in a neutral solution? Assume all the other species to be at unit concentration.

Chromium metal can be plated out from an acidic solution containing CrO₃ according to the following equation
CrO₃ (aq) + 6H⁺ (aq) + 6e^- $$\to$$ Cr(s) + 3H₂O
Calculate (i) how many grams of chromium will be plated out by 24,000 coulombs and (ii) how long will it take to plate out 1.5 g of chromium by using 12.5 amp current.
