### Thermite Reaction in Industrial ApplicationsOver the years, the thermite reaction has been used for welding railroad rails, in incendiary bombs, and to ignite solid-fuel rocket motors. The reaction is:\[ \text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 (s) + 2\text{Al} (s) \rightarrow 2\text{Fe} (l) + \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3 (s) \]#### Calculations:a. **Mass of Iron(III) Oxide Required:**- What mass of iron(III) oxide must be used to produce 15.8 g of iron?- Mass = [Input box for calculation] gb. **Mass of Aluminum Required:**- What mass of aluminum must be used to produce 15.8 g of iron?- Mass = [Input box for calculation] gc. **Maximum Mass of Aluminum Oxide Produced:**- What is the maximum mass of aluminum oxide that could be produced?- Mass = [Input box for calculation] g#### Explanation:To perform these calculations, stoichiometry from the balanced chemical equation will be used. The molar masses of the compounds and elements involved will aid in converting grams to moles and vice versa, ensuring accurate results for industrial applications.

The molar mass of Fe is 55.85 g/mol. The molar mass of Al is 26.98 g/mol. The molar mass of Fe2O3 is…
