ΔH˚rxn = –6.827 × 105 J/mol
Meals-ready-to-eat (MREs) are military meals that can be heated on a flameless heater. The heat is produced by the following reaction: Mg(s) + 2 H2O(l) → Mg(OH)2(s) + H2(g).
Calculate the number of grams of Mg needed for this reaction to release enough energy to increase the temperature of 76 mL of water from 26˚C to 76˚C.
