Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 77SCQ
“Heater Meals” are food packages that contain their own heat source, lust pour water into the heater unit, wait a few minutes, and voila! You have a hot meal.
Mg(s) + 2 H2O(ℓ) → Mg(OH)2(s) + H2(g)
- (a) Confirm that this is a product-favored reaction at equilibrium at 25 °C.
- (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?
