Explanation:
Thermite: Fe₂O₃ + 2Al → 2Fe + Al₂O₃. Aluminium powder reduces iron oxide, producing molten iron for welding. Al is chosen due to its high reactivity and exothermic reaction.
Explanation:
Ethanol is a versatile solvent used in medicines like tinctures and perfumes. Ethanoic acid (glacial) can act as a solvent for many organic compounds. Ethyl ethanoate is an excellent solvent for fats, resins, and plastics, often used in nail polish removers and industrial paints.
Explanation:
Cement compounds react with water (hydration) forming hydrated silicates and aluminates, which crystallize and interlock, giving strength. This is exothermic.
