"Heater Meals" are food packages that contain their
own heat source. Just pour water into the heater unit,
wait a few minutes, and voilà! You have a hot meal.
Mg(s) + 2 H,(t) → Mg(OH)2(s) + H2(g)
MILATERMEALS
The heat for the heater unit is produced by the reaction of
magnesium with water.
(a) Confirm that this is a spontaneous reaction under
standard conditions.
(b) What mass of magnesium is required to produce
sufficient energy to heat 225 ml. of water (density
0.995 g/mL) from 25 C to the boiling point?
