Question

A metal x is a strong reducing agent . When heated with Y it forms a molten metal which is used in reparing broken railway tracks . The metal is highly exothermic . Identify X and Y​

Answer 1

Answer:

The reaction involved between both compond can be shown as follows--->

Fe2O3(s) + 2Al(s) ------> 2Fe(l) +Al2O3(s) +Heat

Iron(III)Oxide+ Aluminium Powder (Strong reducing Agent)-----> Iron Metal(Molten State)+Aluminium Oxide+Heat

The source of heat here is Magnesium ribbon which is heated that produces a lot of heat

Element x= Aluminium (in powder form)

Element y= Magnesium(Ribbon)

Please Note--->This type of chemical reaction is also known as Thermite reaction

Answer 2

Hey mate,

• Here X and Y are Aluminum and Iron[III] oxide (Fe2O3)
• When this reaction occur then large amount of heat is evolved due to which the metals are produced in molten state.
• Fe2O3 + 2Al -- 2Fe + Al2O3 + Heat
• This reaction is also known as thermite reaction.

Hope it help !!
