Hi all,

 

I know its not a very difficult thing to answer, however it is difficult for me who to believe. Does Magnesium reacts with cold water. My guess is yes, but in such a way as if it doesn't, very slow. But, some say it doesn't react AT ALL. whats ur take on it! Answer'll be appreciated!

 

Happy Eid and Merry Christmas to all!:)

yes, it does.. it's reactions with water are:

 

Mg + H20 ----> MgO + H2 ----(cold water)

Mg + 2H2O ----> Mg(OH)2 + H2 ----(hot water)
