Question

reducing agent in thermite process is​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Thermite Process or Goldschmidt Process is the method of obtaining liquid metal by reduction of the oxide with aluminium powder, when ignited with magnesium ribbon it reacts by producing iron and aluminium oxide at an intensely high temperature approaching 3000oC. The reducing agent is aluminium.

Answer 2

ANSWER

Reduction of metal oxides with aluminum powder in which a huge amount of heat is liberated is called thermite process. Thermite process is very useful for the welding of broken metal parts. Aluminium is used as a reducing agent.

In Goldschmidt Aluminothermic process 'Al' is used to reduce Chromium as

Cr+32O3+2Al→Cr0+Al2O3
