To characterize this reaction Al + Fe2O3- Fe + Al2O3

The reaction takes place between substances such as aluminum and ferric oxide. As a result of the reaction, substances are formed: pure iron and trivalent aluminum oxide. The reaction proceeds according to the type of exchange. The molecular equation of the reaction can be written as follows:

Al + Fe2O3 = Fe + Al2O3

Also, the above reaction is exothermic, proceeds with the release of heat. The reaction between aluminum and iron oxide is redox, where iron is an oxidizing agent and therefore reduced and aluminum is a reducing agent and therefore oxidized. The above reaction is heterogeneous.
