the reaction of iron(iii)oxide (Fe2O3) with alumimium is used to join the railway tracks or cracked machine parts. the reaction is known as ALUMINO THERMIT PROCESS.
REACTION :-
Fe2o3(s)+2Al(s) --> 2Fe(l)+Al2O3(s)+Heat

∙ 11y agoIt isn't. You start with aluminium powder and iron oxide and iron oxide (iii).
The reaction goes like this : iron(III) oxide + aluminium → aluminium oxide + iron
In simpler terms, the application of heat transfers the oxygen atoms from the iron oxide into the aluminium, making aluminium oxide and iron metal. It's a fairly basic principal in chemistry called chemical reduction.

What is a light metal extracted from seawater and used in the aircraft industry?
aluminium
This metal has a low density and is extracted by electrolysis?
Aluminium, this is the correct answer if you are completing the AQA Science homework sheet. If not, titanium is also a low density metal and is extracted by electrolysis.
What metals are extracted using phytomining?
nickel and thallium are extracted by phytomining. nickel was the first metal ever to be extracted by this process. boobs are cool
What are the products of thermite?
For the classical iron oxide and aluminum thermite, the products of the reaction are aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and iron (Fe). However, there are many kinds of thermite, but they always produce the pure metal from the oxide.
What is meant by - smelting?
Smelting is the process which ore goes through so that a metal can be extracted from it. It involves heating the rock to very high temperatures. Copper, for instance, can be extracted at temperatures of about 1200 °C.Actually, smelting is a process when a metal which is more reactive than copper needs to be extracted. For example, zinc is more reactive than copper so it has to be extracted smelting. It can be extracted by heating its ore with charcoal aka smelting.--different person
What metal is extracted from alumina?
Aluminium is extracted from alumina.
What metal can be extracted from bauxite ore?
Bauxite contains aluminum oxide, from which aluminum metal is refined.
What is a light metal extracted from seawater and used in the aircraft industry?
aluminium
Is aluminium found as metal?
Yea But in a compound Al2O3 Bauxite Removed or extracted by electrolysis
This metal has a low density and is extracted by electrolysis?
Aluminium, this is the correct answer if you are completing the AQA Science homework sheet. If not, titanium is also a low density metal and is extracted by electrolysis.
How was lithium the element extracted?
Lithium is extracted as the molten metal by a process of electrolysis.
How is the material of hub made in a bicycle?
Most bike hubs are aluminium. Aluminium comes from Bauxite ore, which is refined and the metal aluminium extracted. Axles and bearings are generally steel, which comes from iron ore.
What is thermite made out of?
Thermite is easy to make, just mix fine powdered aluminum powder (400 mesh) with fine powdered iron oxide, the ratio is 1:2. Its better to light it with a magnesuim strip. The ingredients can be bought on eBay.
What metals are extracted using phytomining?
nickel and thallium are extracted by phytomining. nickel was the first metal ever to be extracted by this process. boobs are cool
What is copper thermite?
Copper thermite is a type of thermite where instead of the iron oxide, copper oxide is used instead. The reaction produces pure copper metal, but this thermite gets a little more splattery than the iron thermite.
Is aluminium extracted from bauxite?
Yes, aluminum (aluminum) is the metal we recover from bauxite, its principle ore. A link can be found below to check facts and learn more.

For the classical iron oxide and aluminum thermite, the products of the reaction are aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and iron (Fe). However, there are many kinds of thermite, but they always produce the pure metal from the oxide.
