 The Hindu : Sci Tech / Question Corner : Magnesium reaction
When the magnesium metal is exposed to hot water or steam, the temperature of the metal increases and its interatomic bonds loosen (destabilise) making the magnesium atoms to give away their electrons more readily.
Besides, the hydrogen atoms produced, are not effectively adsorbed on the hot surface of the magnesium metal and the metal is, thereby, continuously exposed to the attack of hot water molecules.
Another equally important reason for the vigorous reaction in hot water is that the produced hydrogen gas is more thoroughly expelled from the layer of magnesium than in cold water due to the prevailing turbulence and also as gases are generally less soluble under hot conditions in liquids.
