What are the properties of Titanium? Select ONE answer
Very strong
Very high melting point
Resists corrosion
Low density
All of these answers are correct!
What is the name of the ore that Titanium is extracted from?
Bauxite
Rutile
Hematite
Which process is uses to extract Titanium from it's ore?
Electrolysis
Blast Furnace
Haber Process
Kroll Process
The first stage of the extraction process involves adding the rutile to carbon and chlorine gas. Two products are formed - Carbon monoxide and...
Titanium (Ti)
Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
Titanium Chloride (TiCl4)
Tetrachloromethane (CCl4)
The second stage of the Kroll Process involves reacting the Titanium Chloride with a metal (usually Mg or Na) - what is the purpose of this?
The Mg is a reducing agent
The Mg is an oxidising agent
The Mg is a catalyst
The Mg is magic
Why does Mg react with TiCl4?
Displacement Reaction - Magnesium is a more reactive metal
Displacement Reaction - Magnesium is a less reactive metal
Neutralisation reaction
Combustion reaction
The reaction can be explosive due to the high temperatures and presence of magnesium, so what atmosphere is present in the reaction chamber?
Oxygen
Fluorine
Argon
What process accounts for approx 97% of the expense in extracting aluminium
The temperature needed for the reaction chamber
The electrolysis of MgCl2 to recover the Mg and Cl2
The transport of the ore to the facility

Making aircraft
Making satellites and spacecraft
Making structural components in chemical plants
Making replacement hips
All answers are correct, plus many more!
