Question
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 MgCl2 which is electrolysed to discharge Mg. The mixture is in the ratio 
are added to lower the fusion temperature and to increase the conductance.
Electrolysis of fused MgCl2 
electrolysed is protected from atmospheric oxidation by a blanket of inert gases.
2 This reaction indicates :
- Mg(OH)2 is weaker base than Ca(OH)2
- Solubility products of Mg(OH)2 is less than that of Ca(OH)2
- Polarising power of Mg2+ is more than that of Ca2+ ion
- Both (B) and (C).
The correct answer is: Both (B) and (C).

Metallic gold frequently is found in aluminosilicate rocks and it is finely dispersed among other minerals. It may be extracted by treating the crushed rock with aerated sodium cyanide solution. During this process metallic gold is slowly converted to 
, which is soluble in water. After equilibrium has been reached, the aqueous phase is pumped off and the metallic gold is recovered from it by reacting the gold complex with zinc, which is converted to 
Gold in nature is frequently alloyed with silver which is also oxidised by aerated sodium cyanide solution.
There have been several efforts to develop alternative gold extraction processes which could replace this one. Why ?
