Rutile (TiO2) or ilmenite (FeTiO3) titanium-containing minerals has the larger percentage of titanium is explained below.
Explanation:
1. Titanium is obtained from different ores that occur naturally on the Earth. Ilmenite (FeTiO3) and rutile (TiO2) are the most important sources of titanium.
2. According to USGS, Ilmenite(FeTio3) accounts for about 92% of the world’s consumption of titanium minerals.
3. World resources of anatase, ilmenite and rutile total more than 2 billion tonnes. Identified reserves total 750 million tonnes (ilmenite plus rutile).
4. China, with 20 million tonnes--accounting for 29% of the world total-- is now the country that is most abundant in terms of ilmenite reserves. Meanwhile, Australia, with 24 million tones rutile reserves—accounting for 50% of the world total—is now the country that is most abundant in terms of rutile reserves.
5.Ilmenite can be mined from both layered intrusive deposits and heavy mineral deposits. It is often found alongside rutile in heavy mineral deposits. Ilmenite is used to make titanium dioxide pigment or it can be processed into feedstock that can be used in the manufacture of titanium. This has become more common as viable rutile deposits become increasingly scarce. South Africa and Australia are among the world’s largest producer of Ilmenite, each extracting over a million metric tonnes per year.
6.The Mining of titanium from intrusive rock is restricted to ilmenite and its weathered derivative leucoxene. The largest opencast ilmenite mine is Tellnes in Norway’s municipality of Sokndal.
The correct option is 58 Fe 2+.
A neutral atom normally has the same number of proton, neutron and electrons, if the number of electrons differ from that of proton, that means that the elements has given some electrons away or it has gained some electrons from another element.
In the question given above, the atomic number of the element is 26 [because the proton number is 26], which means the element is iron. Iron has 24 electrons because it has given two away, so it will have +2. The iron has 32 neutrons instead of 26 so it is an isotope.
Answer :]
A.)Calculate the mass of ammonium sulfate that would be obtained by reacting with ammonia acid.
<em>Correct me if i'm wrong :]</em>
Bromine attracts electrons more strongly. Cesium is In fact the least electro negative element.
Sodium is more likely to lose an electron because is is less electro negative. Strong electronegativity make the element want more electrons. Sodium has loose electrons with a lower electronegativity so it gives it up easier.
