Abstract

AbstractWe investigate a reaction rate of Mg-Li Al alloy (specific gravity is 0.95) in water. The hydrogen gas is mainly generated as follows : Li + H2O → LiOH + 1/2 H2 ↑. Using the volume of hydrogen gas, the reaction rate is estimated. The apparent activation energy (E) is 4.63 kcal/mol for the early reaction period. It is approximately equal to that of the water diffusion. On the other hand, the E is 9 kcal/mol after the early reaction period at the 2 ml (the volume of hydrogen gas). Furthermore, we succeed to prevent the sample against the reaction by the use of coating paints.
