If Magnesium powder is mixed with water and boiled, does it give off Hydrogen?

magnesium powder does in fact release hydrogen when mixed with water, because its an alkali earth metal, and has some of the characteristics of other elements in its group such as calcium, which bubbles alot when added to water. magnesium is slightly less reactive than calcium, and therefore doesn't release as much hydrogen gas, but it still does! The products are hydrogen gas and magnesium hydroxide.If Magnesium powder is mixed with water and boiled, does it give off Hydrogen?
No, it needs to be hotter than 100C. In fact to get magnesium to react with steam it needs to be at nearly the melting point of Mg. You can see this if you try heating Mg as ribbon in steam. Nothing will happen until the Mg begins to melt and then there is a violent exothermic reaction giving hydrogen and MgO
