Chemistry

. Mg2+ ions are present in seawater, and the metal is oftenprepared by \"harvesting\" these ions and converting them to neutralMg metal. The average magnesium content of the oceans is about 1270g Mg2+ per ton of seawater, and the density of seawater is about1.02 g/mL. (Some additional unit conversion factors are givenbelow.) 1 ton = 2000 pounds 1 gallon = 3.7854 L 454 g = 1 pound

(6 pts) (a). How many gallons of seawater would be required tosupply 123 kg of magnesium?

(6 pts) (b). Use information from above to find the molarity ofMg2+ ions in seawater?
