A thermite reaction releases large amounts of heat and light, resulting in the melting of the iron metal that forms during the r
eaction. The balanced chemical equation is given below: Fees001-1.jpgOes001-2.jpg + 2Al es001-3.jpg Ales001-4.jpgOes001-5.jpg + 2Fe Determine the correct mole ratios for the following substances, based on this chemical equation.
Balanced chemical reaction: Fe₂O₃<span> + 2Al → 2Fe + Al</span>₂O₃. Fe₂O₃ is iron(III) oxide. Al is aluminium. Fe is iron. Al₂O₃ is aluminium oxide. In thermite reaction<span> elemental aluminium reduces the iron (III) oxide or some other metal oxide. Mole ratios from chemical reaction: n(</span>Fe₂O₃) : n(Al₂O₃) = 1 : 1. n(Fe₂O₃) : n(Al) = 1 : 2. n(Fe₂O₃) : n(Fe) = 1 : 2.
