Question

The reaction of Metal X with ferric oxide is highly exothermic Metal X is obtained from its oxide by electrolytic reduction identify X and write its reaction with ferric oxide

Answer 1

The reaction of metal X with ferric oxide is highly exothermic and also metal X is obtained from its oxides by electrolytic reduction.

So metal X is Aluminium and its reaction with ferric oxide is:

2Al(s) + Fe2O3(s)  2Fe(s) + Al2O3(s) ;   H = - 850 kJ

Answer 2

Answer:

hey friend

x is most likely to be aluminium

the chemical reaction takes place in the following manner

2Al + FeO3 ---------------- 2Fe + Al2O3

single displacement reaction
