Thermit is a mixture of fine aluminium powder and iron oxide in the ratio of about _____ by weight.

A.

1 : 2

B.

1 : 3

C.

3 : 1

D.

2 : 1

Correct option is B

The thermit reaction is used in welding and involves a mixture of fine aluminium powder and iron oxide. The typical ratio by weight is 1 part aluminium powder to 3 parts iron oxide (Fe₂O₃). When ignited, this mixture undergoes a highly exothermic reaction, producing molten iron and aluminium oxide, which is used to weld railway tracks and other heavy sections of steel.
