What is Thermit reaction? What is its use? Give one chemical equation.
Answers
The thermite reaction is an exothermic reaction between the metal and metal oxide. ... The aluminium reduces the metal oxide most probably an iron (lll) oxide to produce ferrous and aluminium oxide. During the reaction, large amount of energy is released.
Answer:
Hlo mate!!!
A thermite reaction is basically iron oxide (rust) reacting with aluminum to produce molten iron. The products are aluminium oxide, elemental iron, and a large amount of heat. The reactants are commonly or thermite mixture is aluminum powder and iron oxide (rust) powder. When the mixture is heated, it starts reacting as the aluminum is more reactive than the iron and aluminium forms stronger and stable bonds with oxygen than iron.
Uses-
1.The reaction is used for thermite welding, often used to join rail tracks. 2.Thermites have extremely high temperature and also been used in metal refining, demolition of ammunitions, and in incendiary weapons.
3.Some thermite-like mixtures are used in fireworks.
4.A thermite reaction is used to purify the ores of some metals called as thermite process.
