    Metallic magnesium is prepared by [BHU 1973, 77]

    A) Reduction of \[MgO\] by coke

    B) Electrolysis of aqueous solution of \[Mg(N{{O}_{3}})\]

    C) Displacement of \[Mg\] by iron from \[MgS{{O}_{4}}\] solution

    D) Electrolysis of molten \[MgC{{l}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\underset{\text{(Molten)}}{\mathop{MgC{{l}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow{Electrolysis}\underset{\text{Cation}}{\mathop{M{{g}^{+2}}}}\,+\underset{\text{Anion}}{\mathop{2Cl}}\,\] Anode - \[2C{{l}^{-}}\to 2Cl+2{{e}^{-}}\],\[Cl+Cl\to C{{l}_{2}}\] Cathode - \[M{{g}^{+2}}+2{{e}^{-}}\to Mg\]
