Powdered aluminum serves the reducing agent for this reaction. Aluminum powder is known as a powerful reducing agent. <span>Iron(iii) ions would have greater electron affinity as compared to a metallic aluminum thus it would easily gain electrons from aluminum making it less positive in this case formed into a neutral atom. </span><span>The chemical reaction is </span>
<span>Fe2O3 + 2Al = Al2O3 + 2Fe.
</span>
<span>Oxygen in the oxide compound does not participate in this redox reaction, as it is not changed </span>chemically<span>. Fe2O3 is an ionic compound which has of Fe[3+] ions and O[2-] ions. So, the net ionic reaction would be</span>
<span>Fe3+ + Al + 3O2- = Al3+ + Fe + 3O2- </span>
<span>The ionization energy of aluminum is greater than that of iron, so the said reaction would generate large amount of heat which is needed in welding.</span>
No, they can have potential energy
%(NaHCO3)= ((mass NaHCO3)/(mass NaHCO3 + mass water))*100%
m=Volume*Density
Density of water =1 g/ml
m(water) = Volume(water)*Density(water) = 600.0 ml * 1g/ml=600g water
%(NaHCO3)= ((20.0 g)/(20.0 g + 600 g))*100%=0.0323*100%=32.3%
