Answer:

1700 kj

Step-by-step explanation:

The given reaction is exothermic reaction.

Exothermic reaction:

The type of reactions in which energy is released are called exothermic reactions.

In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bonds are less than the energy released during the bond formation.

For example:

Chemical equation:

C + O₂ → CO₂

ΔH = -393 Kj/mol

it can be written as,

C + O₂ → CO₂ + 393 Kj/mol

Chemical equation:

2Al + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2Fe + 850 Kj

when one mole of Fe₂O₃ react 850 kj energy is produced.

when 2 moles react,

2 × 850 kj = 1700 kj
