Is the chemical reaction for aluminum exothermic or endothermic?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
Yes it is. When these two chemicals react, the container they are in becomes heated. Exothermic refers to a release of heat and energy.

the equation is :
2Al + Fe2O3 ----> 2Fe + Al2O3
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoYes, the reaction between aluminum and Iron III oxide is exothermic. In fact, its reaction is so exothermic that it is frequently used in welding.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoit depends what it is combined with
endothermic: chemical reaction that absorbes energy
exothermic: chemical reaction that releases energy

The aluminum will replace the iron in the iron oxide, forming aluminum oxide and iron metal. This is a single replacement/displacement reaction.

What is the opposite of exothermic?
The opposite of exothermic is endothermic. Exothermic reactions are those which give off energy in the form of heat. Endothermic reactions require energy.
Is the chemical reaction in flameless ration heaters classified as an endothermic or an exothermic reaction?
Exothermic. Its a heater.
Is the reaction inside a chemical heat pack endothermic?
The reaction is exothermic.
Is the reaction of magnesium sulfate and water exothermic or endothermic?
It is not a chemical reaction, it is dissolution; this physical process is exothermic.
Is burning aluminum endothermic?
The reaction aluminum underwent during the disaster of Hindenburg was exothermic. It is exothermic because during this disaster it gave off heat.
Was the reaction aluminum oxide underwent in the Hindenburg endothermic or exothermic?
Exothermic
A chemical reaction that releases energy is called?
Exothermic reactions
A reaction that gives out energy?
... is an exothermic reaction (opposite of 'endothermic')
What is the opposite of exothermic?
The opposite of exothermic is endothermic. Exothermic reactions are those which give off energy in the form of heat. Endothermic reactions require energy.
What is a chemical reaction that absorbs heat?
An endothermic reaction absorbs heat, an exothermic reaction releases heat.
Is the chemical reaction in flameless ration heaters classified as an endothermic or an exothermic reaction?
Exothermic. Its a heater.
Is the reaction inside a chemical heat pack endothermic?
The reaction is exothermic.
Are titrations endothermic or exothermic?
In thermometric titration the reaction enthalpy is used to follow the chemical reaction. I guess it dépends on the titration reaction it can be exothermic or endothermic. ΔHr (molar heat of reaction) negative (indicating an exothermic reaction) or positive (indicating an endothermic reaction
Is the reaction of magnesium sulfate and water exothermic or endothermic?
It is not a chemical reaction, it is dissolution; this physical process is exothermic.
What is the name given to reactions which take in heat?
An endothermal (or endothermic) process is the name of the process in which heat is taken in. In an exothermal (or exothermic) process, heat is released.
Which contains more chemical energy endothermic or exothermic?
An endothermic reaction contains more chemical energy.
What is the difference between an exothermic and an endothermic chemical reaction?
Nothing to explain; that is the way EXO- and ENDOthemic reactions are called by definition
