Fe2O3 + 2Al → Al2O3 + 2Fe The above reaction is an example of a 1. Combination reaction 2. Double displacement reaction 3. Decomposition reaction 4. Displacement reaction
ScienceClass 10CBSEAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
The answer is 4. Displacement reaction.
Explanation: The Oxygen from the Ferrous oxide is getting displaced to the Aluminium metal to form Aluminium Oxide. In this reaction, Aluminum is a more reactive metal than Fe. Therefore, Al will displace Fe from its oxide. This type of chemical reaction, called displacement reaction, is in which one of the elements displaces another. Here, less reactive metal is displaced by more reactive metal. Since one-time displacement is occurring, it is called a single displacement reaction.
