Powdered aluminum reacts with iron (III) oxide in the thermite reaction to form molten iron and aluminum oxide: 2A (s) + Fe20s (s) > 2 Fe(!) + AlzOs (s) Liquid iron is produced because the reaction releases enough energy to raise the temperature above the melting point of iron. This liquid iron can be used o weld steel railroad rails.
