Concerning the thermite reaction, 

(a) Use data from Appendix D to calculate ΔrH° at 298 K for the reaction below.

2 Al(s) + FeO3(s) 2 Fe(s) + AlO3(s)

(b) Write an equation for the reaction when MnO2(s) is substituted for Fe2O3(s), and calculate  ΔrH° for this reaction.

(c) Show that if MgO were substituted for Fe2O3, the reaction would be endothermic.
