Answer 2

THERMITE REACTION ---

Addition of a small amount of glycerine to a pile of iron (III) oxide, aluminum powder, and potassium permanganate produces a flame, sparks, and molten iron. Purpose/Goal: Illustrates the concept of exothermic reactions, the metallurgy of iron, and energy of activation.

USE ---

The reaction, also called the Goldschmidt process, is used for thermite welding, often used to join railway tracks. Thermites have also been used in metal refining, disabling munitions, and in incendiary weapons. Some thermite-like mixtures are used as pyrotechnic initiators in fireworks

AN EQUATION ---

The aluminium reduces the oxide of another metal.Most of the it is Iron Oxide.The reaction can be shown as-

Fe2o3+Al=Fe+Al2O3
