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).

Answer:
What is most widely accepted today is the giant-impact theory. It proposes that the Moon formed during a collision between the Earth and another small planet, about the size of Mars. The debris from this impact collected in an orbit around Earth to form the Moon.
Explanation:
Use the clapeyron equation:
T in kelvin : 6.80 + 273 => 279.8 K
R = 0.082
n = 71.5 moles
P = 5.03 atm
Therefore:
P x V = n x R x T
5.03 x V = 71.5 x 0.082 x 279.8
5.03 x V = 1640.4674
V = 1640.4674 / 5.03
V = 326.13 L

First we will calculate the number of moles of Iron:
, where n is the number of moles, m is the mass of iron in the reaction and M is the Atomic weight.
moles of Iron.
The same number of moles of Oxygen will take part in the reaction.
So
where 32 is the Atomical Weight of Oxygen (16 x 2).
=>
g
