Consider the following reaction : Fe ₂ O ₃( ~s )+2 Al ( ~s ) 2 Fe ( ~s )+ Al ₂ O ₃( ~s ) Which of the following statements about the given reaction is NOT correct?
Options
- AIt is an example of displacement reaction
- BIt is highly endothermic reaction
- CFe ₂ O ₃ acts as oxidizing agent
- DThis reaction is applicable to joining of railway tracks
Correct answer
B. It is highly endothermic reaction
Step-by-step solution
The thermite reaction is an exothermic reaction not endothermic where Iron oxide reacts with Aluminum to give molten Iron and Aluminum oxide. • This reaction is an example of a single displacement reaction.
