Question:

How to isolate (manufacture) magnesium?

I really don't understand what it's asking me. Can someone help me with this question? Thanks

Answer:

Magnesium normally exists in various compounds such as dolomite, magnesite or olivine, but not pure. To obtain pure magnesium ('isolation'), you have to use electrolysis, for example from MgCl2.
