Question
Write the chemical equation for the event.
A reaction was brought about between ferric oxide and aluminium.
Advertisements
Solution
Aluminium is more reactive than iron. Aluminium metal replaces iron from ferric oxide to form aluminium oxide and iron
Chemical Equation: \[\ce{2Al + Fe2O3 -> Al2O3 + 2Fe}\]
