This is an incendiary mixture. If ignited, it is quite dangerous. It is used for extreme high temperature welding, and is known as thermite.

What is the word equation for heating aluminium powder with iron oxide?

well, this is my theory, excuse me if i am not at all correct, but i believe the answer is; Aluminium + Iron Oxide ---> Aluminium Oxide + Iron + heat i really do hope this is correct, please except my apologies if it is not.


What happens when aluminium reacts with iron oxide and where is this reaction used?

When aluminium reacts with iron oxide, a thermite reaction occurs, producing aluminum oxide, iron, and a large amount of heat. This reaction is used in welding and metal cutting applications due to the intense heat generated.


Can iron displace aluminium from aluminium oxide?

The reaction is not possible.


What is the balance equation of reaction between aluminium and iron three oxide toform aluminium oxide and rion?

The balanced equation for the reaction between aluminum and iron (III) oxide to form aluminum oxide and iron is: 2Al + Fe2O3 → Al2O3 + 2Fe


How is aluminium metal extracted by thermite process?

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 -by kartikcool.cool@gmail.com


What are aliminium and iron extracted from?

Aluminium is mainly extracted from Bauxite, which is Aluminium oxide(Al2O3). Iron is mainly extracted from Hematite, which is Iron(III) oxide(Fe2O3). Some other minerals of Iron are Pyrite(FeS2) and Magnetite(Fe3O4).


What catlyst is used in making ammonia?

Iron mixtured mixed with Aluminium oxide and potassium oxide.


How can you separate aluminium hydroxide and iron oxide?

If the iron oxide is Fe3O4 you can use a magnet.This is possible because magnetite has strong magnetic properties.For the separation from other iron oxides aluminium hydroxide can be dissolved in alkalis; iron oxides are not soluble in alkalis.


When aluminium and iron oxide react together one of product is iron what is the formula?

You are looking at the thermite reaction, often used to weld into place railway lines (or if you are in america railroad tracks), which is the reduction of Iron (Fe) oxide with aluminium (Al) powder. The formula for the reaction is;2 Al + Fe2O3 -->2 Al2O3 + 2 Fe


What happens to iron oxide when it is dissolved?

Iron oxide (Fe2O3) in insoluble in water.


Why is that a piece of aluminium foil exposed to moist air does not corrode even though aluminium is more reactive than iron which easily rust?

Aluminium reacts very rapidly with the oxygen in the air to form a thin film of aluminium oxide covering the entire surface of the aluminium in the foil. This surface is invisible to the eye. Aluminium oxide is very resistant to chemical processes, like corrosion. It protects the aluminium underneath very well, so aluminium does not corrode in moist environments. If the aluminium is scratched, an new aluminium oxide film forms immediately, protecting the scratched part. Iron does not form a protective skin, because iron oxide has different chemical properties to aluminium oxide and is not able to protect the iron.
