Best Answer

The thermite reaction usually has two reactants: Iron III oxide (Fe2O3, rust) and aluminum.

Both reactants are in powdered form.

The reaction equation is:

Fe2O3 + 2Al --> Al2O3 + 2Fe

The products are aluminum oxide (corundum) and molten iron.

What is a thermit reaction?

Thermite is a pyrotechnic composition of a metal powder and a metal oxide, which produces an aluminothermic reaction known as a thermite reaction. It is not explosive, but can create short bursts of extremely high temperatures focused on a very small area for a short period of time.


Why is the thermit reaction used on railway lines?
