Question
The meals-ready-to-eat (MREs) in the military can be heated on a flameless heater. You can purchase a similar product called "Heater Meals." Just pour water into the
heater unit, wait a few minutes, and you have a hot meal. The source of energy in the heater is
Mg(s) + 2 H₂O(l) → Mg(OH)2 (s) + H₂(g)
Calculate the enthalpy change under standard conditions, in joules, for this reaction. What quantity of magnesium is needed to supply the energy required to warm
30. mL of water (d = 1.00 g/mL) from 24 °C to 85 °C? The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g. °C.
