Thermite Reaction - part of our "Berzelius Day" uploading 24 videos in 24 hours. Full video containing this reaction at: [ Ссылка ]
NOTE FROM THE PROFESSOR: In this reaction aluminium is converted to aluminium oxide and iron oxide to iron. Al + Fe2O3 → Al2O3 + Fe. The interaction between Al and O is stronger than that between Fe and O so the reaction liberates a large amount of heat.
