Titanium is produced from its principal ore, rutile, $\mathrm{TiO}_{2}(s)$, by the two-step process described by (1) $\mathrm{TiO}_{2}(s)+2 \mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g)+2 \mathrm{C}(s) \rightarrow$ $$ \mathrm{TiCl}_{4}(g)+2 \mathrm{CO}(g) $$ (2) $\mathrm{TiCl}_{4}(g)+2 \mathrm{Mg}(s) \rightarrow \mathrm{Ti}(s)+2 \mathrm{MgCl}_{2}(s)$ How many kilograms of titanium can be produced from $4.10 \times 10^{3}$ kilograms of $\mathrm{TiO}_{2}(s) ?$
What is the percent by mass of titanium in rutile, a mineral that contains titanium and oxygen, if structure can be described as a closest packed array of oxide ions with titanium ions in one-half of the octahedral holes? What is the oxidation number of titanium?
