Question
Scenario 3
At dinnertime, the soldiers we re miles from a fie ld kitchen. They each pulled out a
meal pouch, inserted it into a small bag, and added water. Within 15 minutes, the
soldiers were eating hot meals, which are the U.S. Army's "Meal, Ready-to-Eat," or MRE, Tatio
Each MRE is a main dish within a pouch made of aluminum foil and plastic. In 1985, researchers
at the Army's Natick Research, Development, and Engineering Center invented a way to heat
MRES using a special "Flameless Ration Heater," or FRH.
Each FRH is a plastic sleeve that holds a pad containing metal particles embedded in a polymeric
matrix. The metal is an alloy of 90% magnesium and 10% iron. The entire package has a mass of
20.0 g, of which about 8.1 g is magnesium. In the FRH, the water reacts with magnesium in an
exothermic reaction
The energy released by this reaction warms the meal to 60°C. To speed the reaction, iron was
added to the FRH. Both iron and magnesium react readily with warm water but since iron is a less
active metal than magnesium, the magnesium first reacts. Earlier models of the FRH used more
than 60 mL of water, but the latest version requires only 45 mL.
