Question

What is thermit reaction

Answer 1

the thermite reaction is a highly exothermic reaction in which metal essentially burns. it  is initiated by the heat released from the mixture of potassium permanganate and glycerine.

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak\red{Answer :}$


When AlAl reacts with $Fe_{2}O_{3}$ then $Al_{2}O_{3}$ and $Fe$ is produced...

$2Al\:+\:Fe_{2}O_{3}$ -----> $Al_{2}O_{3}\:+\:2Fe$

Here;

Aluminum = $(Al)$

Iron oxide = $(Fe_{2}O_{3})$

Aluminum oxide = $(Al_{2}O_{3})$

Iron = $(Fe)$

The above Reaction is highly exothermic... due to this the produced iron is molten in state... Which helps in joining crack parts of the machine and also helps in joining railway tracks...

This whole process is known as Thermit process...
