Question

Thermite is a mixture of

$Zn + Mg$

$Fe + Al$

$Fe _{2} O _{3}+ Al$

$Cu + Mg$

Answer

$Fe _{2} O _{3}+ Al$

Explanation

Solution

Thermite is a mixture of $Fe _{2} O _{3}$ and $Al$ in the ratio $3: 1 .$ Thermite reaction involves the displacement of a metal from its oxide by more electropositive metal releasing large amount of energy. $Fe _{2} O _{3}+ Al \rightarrow 2 Fe + Al _{2} O _{3}$
