what is thermite reaction ​

Answer 1

• Thermite (/ˈθɜːrmaɪt/) is a pyrotechnic composition of metal powder and metal oxide. When ignited by heat, thermite undergoes an exothermic reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction. ... The reaction, also called the Goldschmidt process, is used for thermite welding, often used to join railway tracks.^_^

What is Thermite Reaction?

${\large{\underbrace{\underline{\bf{Answer:-}}}}}$

Thermite Reaction is an exothermic reaction between metal oxide and metal. Thermite is a pyrotechnic composition of metal powder and metal oxide. This reaction can used differently with any metal and so has different applications. This reaction is also referred to as the Goldschmidt process. It is a reduction-oxidation (typically called, redox) reaction. A lot of heat is evolved in this process.

★ Applications of Thermite Reaction -

• It is used for thermite welding, often used to join railway tracks.
• It is also used in metal refining.
• This process is also used in disabling munitions and in incendiary weapons.
• It is used in joining the broken pieces of heavy iron objects like girders, cracked machine parts, etc.
