The thermite reaction is very exothermic, the heat of the reaction sufficient to melt the iron that is produced by the reaction:
2Al + Fe2O3 Al2O3 + 2Fe H=?
a) calculate the standard enthalpy change for this reaction?
b) if 40.0 g of iron (III) oxide we’re reacted with excess aluminum, how much heat would be produced ?
c) of the heat produced was used to heat 2.00L of water at 23.0C, what would the final temperature of the water be?
