- Titanium is a strong, lightweight, corrosion-resistant metal that is used in the construction of rockets, aircrafts, and jet engines. It is prepared by the reduction of titanium (IV) chloride with molten magnesium between 950 oC and 1150 oC:
TiCl4(g) + 2Mg(l) → Ti(s) + 2MgCl2(l)
In a certain operation 3.54 x 104 kg of TiCl4 is reacted with 1.13 x 104 kg of Mg.
