Well, you must a stoichiometric that represents the reaction..I make it about
Explanation:
And so...
And so
And we require TWO EQUIV magnesium metal for stoichiometric reaction...
I am not up on the literature at the moment, but I think most titanium smelters use the Krull process, which employs magnesium as the reductant...
