Over the years, the thermite reaction has been used for welding railroad rails, in incendiary bombs, and to ignite solid-fuel rocket motors. The reaction is

Fe2O3(s) + 2Al(s) --> 2Fe(L) + Al2O3(s)
  1. What mass of iron(III) oxide must be used to produce 13.2 g iron?

    Mass =  g

  2. What mass of aluminum must be used to produce 13.2 g iron?

    Mass =  g

  3. What is the maximum mass of aluminum oxide that could be produced?

    Mass =  g
