Exothermic Iron-Oxide and Aluminum Reaction

http://www.FreeScienceLectures.com

A metal crucible is filled with iron-oxide and aluminum. A small amount of potassium, sugar and chloride is placed on top of iron-oxide aluminum mixture. A few drops of concentrated sulphuric acide is added to the mixture to start the reaction. The reaction extremely exothermic. The crucible becomes red hot. The aluminum has reduced the iron-oxide to iron.

In English it is Aluminium, but also in other languages, like Dutch, German, French, almost every other language.

Lol,

Fe2O3 + Al --> Al2O3 + Fe

Al2O3 is Aluminium Oxide. So the thermire reaction produces iron and aluminium oxide.

is iron oxide reactive to all aluminum (like tin foil)

i hope that oxidized the shit out of his hand =) KCIO3 left a nasty blister on me while testing. Now I never be a rocket scientist without leather gloves on.

Got to love a decent displacement reaction.

@zodial - lol

@the26thhour Maybe so, but I can spell correctly. Re-read your comment and tell me how many times you, purposely or not, mis-spelled your words.

Your opinion on my opinion falls even further below par with your text-style spelling. "U" is a letter. Not a pronoun.

@TinyFloyd - I dread to think what calcum might actually be? 0.O

[InTheMiddle95]

This is used to make naked iron from his oxide..

@CombatMedic67 Too bad god doesn't exist. Fairy tale analogies don't help, but I agree with the point you made.
