Talk:FRH

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Took the liberty of moving this back to FRH. I'd go with "flameless ration heater" if FRH were a disambig page, but for now I think it's best to go with "most common name in English." - Hephaestos|§ 15:49, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Valence electrons

The role of iron in the heater is most likely as a catalyst, since it is used in a small amount. In this case, the iron is initially oxidized, and then reduced back to its elemental form as the magnesium is oxidized and sends its two valance electrons to iron

Wouldn't the two valence electrons from the magnesium atom go to the oxygen atom? - KingRaptor 06:34, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
