b)Name the reaction:
The reaction is a thermite reaction.
The thermite reaction is the reaction between the iron(III)oxide and aluminium. This reaction produces a lot of heat that melts the iron to form molten iron that is used as the fuse to join the rails.
c)The balanced reaction is as follows:
2Al + Fe2O3 --------> Al2O3 + 2Fe
The compound is Iron(III)oxide.
