Question
Which of the following reactants are used to carry out the thermite reaction required for welding the broken railway tracks?
(a) Al2O3 + Fe
(b) MnO2 + Al
(c) Fe2O3 + Al
(d) Cu2O + Fe
Solution
(c) Fe2O3 + Al
In this thermite reaction, iron (III) oxide and aluminium powder are combined and heated. Iron oxide gets reduced to iron by the action of reducing agent aluminium and produces excess heat. The molten iron produced is poured in the middle of the broken pieces of irons that are fixed mutually.
