Write the balanced chemical equations for the following reactions and identify the type of reaction in each case.
(a) Thermite reaction, iron (III) oxide reacts with aluminium and gives molten iron and aluminium oxide.
(b) Magnesium ribbon is burnt in an atmosphere of nitrogen gas to form solid magnesium nitride.

Answer: a) Iron (III) oxide reacts with aluminium to form molten iron and aluminium oxide in the first step of the Thermit reaction. This is a reaction with a single displacement.

Fe2O3 + 2Al → Al2O3(s)+ 2Fe (l)

b) The burning of magnesium ribbon in an atmosphere of nitrogen gas results in the formation of solid magnesium nitride.The reaction is a Combination reaction

3 Mg(s)+ N2 → Mg3N2
