Question 5

[Maximum number: 2]

Titanium is extracted from an ore called rutile. Rutile is an impure form of titanium(IV) oxide, TiO2\mathrm{TiO}_{2}.

Question 5(a)

(a)

Rutile is mixed with coke and heated in a furnace through which chlorine gas is passed. The product is gaseous titanium(IV) chloride, TiCl4\mathrm{TiCl}_{4}.

TiO2( s)+2C( s)+2Cl2( g)TiCl4( g)+2CO( g)\mathrm{TiO}_{2}(\mathrm{~s})+2 \mathrm{C}(\mathrm{~s})+2 \mathrm{Cl}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{TiCl}_{4}(\mathrm{~g})+2 \mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{~g})

The gaseous titanium(IV) chloride produced is condensed into the liquid state. The titanium(IV) chloride is then separated from liquid impurities.

[ 1 ]

Question 5(a)(i)

(i)

Suggest the name of the process by which liquid titanium(IV) chloride could be separated from the liquid impurities.

[ 1 ]

Question 5(d)

(b)

After titanium(IV) chloride is heated with magnesium, the unreacted magnesium is removed by adding an excess of dilute hydrochloric acid to the mixture.

The dilute hydrochloric acid also dissolves the magnesium chloride.
The dilute hydrochloric acid does not react with the titanium or dissolve it.

[ 1 ]

Question 5(d)(ii)

(i)

Name the process that is used to separate the titanium from the mixture after all the magnesium has been removed.
