Answer to Question #250165 in Chemistry for Ana

Question

Write the chemical equation for the thermite reaction between aluminium and iron(iii) oxide

Answer 1

Solution:

aluminium = Al

iron(III) oxide = Fe₂O₃

Balanced chemical equation:

2Al(s) + Fe₂O₃(s) ⟶ 2Fe(s) + Al₂O₃(s)

Answer: 2Al(s) + Fe₂O₃(s) ⟶ 2Fe(s) + Al₂O₃(s)
