Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3\) parts of \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\) and \(1\) part of \(\mathrm{Al}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In Goldschmidt aluminothermic process, thermite contains 3 parts of \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\) and 1 part of aluminium \((\mathrm{Al})\). \[ \mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}+2 \mathrm{Al} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Al}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}+2 \mathrm{Fe}+\text { Heat } \]
