Question

write the balance chemical equation for the following reaction and identify the type of reaction and define it iron III oxide reacts with aluminium gives molten iron and aluminium oxide ​

Answer 1

Answer :-

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

⇒ Fe2O3 = Iron(lll)oxide

⇒ Al = Aluminium

⇒ Fe = Molten iron

⇒ Al2O3 = Aluminium oxide

⇒ When Iron (III) oxide reacts with aluminium to give molten iron and aluminium oxide the displacement reaction take place.

⇒ Displacment reaction in which more reactive substance displace with less reactive substance.

⇒ Iron (III) oxide is ferric oxide which causes coating of reddish brown colour when the metal is left for some time this is commonly called as rusting.
