The reaction of iron (III) oxide and aluminum is initiated by heat released from a small amount "starter mixture". This reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction, a single replacement reaction, producing great quantities of heat (flame and sparks) and a stream of molten iron and aluminum oxide which pours out of a hole in the bottom of the pot into sand.

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:

2 Al(s) + Fe2O3(s) --> 2Fe(s) + Al2O3(s) + 850 kJ/mol

Curriculum Notes
This chemical reaction can be used to demonstrate an exothermic reaction, a single replacement or oxidation-reduction reaction, and the connection between ∆H calculated for this reaction using heats of formation and Hess' Law and calculating ∆H for this reaction using qrxn = mc∆T and the moles of limiting reactant. This reaction also illustrates the role of activation energy in a chemical reaction. The thermite mixture must be raised to a high temperature before it will react.

To determine how much thermal energy is released in this reaction, heats of formation values and Hess' Law can be used.

By definition, the deltaHfo of an element in its standard state is zero.

2 Al(s) + Fe2O3(s) --> 2Fe (s) + Al2O3 (s)

The deltaH for this reaction is the sum of the deltaHfo's of the products - the sum of the deltaHfo's of the reactants (multiplying each by their stoichiometric coefficient in the balanced reaction equation), i.e.:

deltaHorxn = (1 mol)(deltaHfoAl2O3) + (2 mol)(deltaHfoFe) - (1 mol)(deltaHfoFe2O3) - (2 mol)(deltaHfoAl)

deltaHorxn = (1 mol)(-1,669.8 kJ/mol) + (2 mol)(0) - (1 mol)(-822.2 kJ/mol) - (2mol)(0 kJ/mol)

deltaHorxn = -847.6 kJ

The melting point of iron is 1530°C (or 2790°F).

Neither n2 nor o2 are greenhouse gases because
Katyanochek1 [597]

Neither N₂ or O₂ are greenhouses gases because they do not cause the greenhouse effect.

<h3>What are greenhouses gases?</h3>

Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere causing the temperature of the planet to rise.

Greenhouse gases cause the greenhouse effect.

<h3>What is the greenhouse effect?</h3>

The greenhouse effect is the warming up of the planet due to greenhouse gases.

Greenhouse gases include

  • carbondioxide
  • methane
  • nitrous oxide and
  • water vapour

So, neither N₂ or O₂ are greenhouses gases because they do not cause the greenhouse effect.

Silver metal can be prepared by reducing its nitrate, AgNO3 with copper according to the following equation:
Lerok [7]

%yield = 88.5%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

Cu(s) + 2 AgNO₃(aq) → Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2Ag(s)

Required

The percent yield

Solution

mol AgNO₃(MW=169,87 g/mol) :

= mass : MW

= 127 : 169.87

= 0.748

mol Ag from equation :

= 2/2 x mol AgNO₃

= 2/2 x 0.748

= 0.748

Mass Ag (theoretical) :

= mol x Ar Ag

= 0.748 x 108

= 80.784

% yield = (actual/theoretical) x 100%

%yield = 71.5/80.784 x 100%

<em>%yield = 88.5%</em>
