Answer:

Mass of rutile required to produce 100kg Ti = 166.85 kg

Explanation:

 Atomic mass of Ti = 47.867 g

 Atomic mass of O = 15.999 g

So, Mass of Rutile ( TiO₂ ) = 47.867 + 2* 15.999 = 79.865 g

Which means in 79.865 g of rutile 47.867 g of Ti is there.

 We need 100 kg of Ti

 Mass of Rutile needed = [tex]\frac{79.865}{47.867} *100=166.85 kg[/tex]

 So, mass of rutile required to produce 100kg Ti = 166.85 kg

Mass of rutile required to produce 100kg Ti = 166.85 kg, however the process may vary due to the quality of the rutile found and the extraction process.

How is titanium extracted?

Addition of rutile minerals as a fuel derived from coal (petrochemical derivative — carbon) and chlorine. The substances are taken to a fluid bed reactor, with a controlled temperature at 100°C, for segregation of tickle or titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4), a porous solid that is not yet pure titanium.

2 FeTiO3 + 7 Cl2 + 6 C → 2 TiCl4 + 2 FeCl3 + 6 CO

2 Mg (l) + TiCl4 (g) → 2 MgCl2 (l) + Ti (s)

With this information we can conclude that the product of this reaction is pure solid titanium, and Mass of rutile required to produce 100kg Ti = 166.85 kg
