What type of chemical reaction is represented by the following chemical equation? What does it tell us about the relative chemical reactivities of iron and aluminium?
$Fe_2O_3 +2Al \rightarrow Al_2O_3 + 2Fe$
State one use of the above chemical reaction.
$Fe_2O_3 +2Al \rightarrow Al_2O_3 + 2Fe$
The above chemical equation represents displacement reaction.
Aluminium being more reactive than iron displaces iron and results in the formation of aluminium oxide.
The above chemical reaction is used to extract iron from its oxide.
