Answer:
Thermit Reaction - In thermit reaction, iron is extracted from its impure form by using aluminium. It is a displacement and highly exothermic reaction, due to which, the iron is extracted in molten form.
Equation- Fe2O3(s) + 2Al(s) --> 2Fe(l) + Al2O3(s) + Heat.
Uses- The molten iron which is the product of the reaction is used to join cracked railway tracks.
