Question

What is thermit reaction? Define it.

Answer 1

$<b> HEY MATE! HERE'S YOUR ANSWER!$

Ans: The process of igniting Aluminium and Ferric oxide is called thermite reaction.

This is an exothermic reaction. Iron obtained in this process is in molten state.

Fe₂O₃ (s) + Al (s) →Al₂O₃ + 2 Fe(l) + Heat. 

Thermite reaction used for the welding of rails (joining metals) called as thermite welding.

$\huge\mathfrak{Question :}$

What is Thermit Reaction ? Define it.


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

$\huge\textbf{Thermit process :}$


When Aluminum $(Al)$ reacts with Iron oxide $(Fe_{2}O_{3})$ then Aluminum oxide $(Al_{2}O_{3})$ and Iron $(Fe)$ is produced...

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

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...
