i have made thermite using Al and Fe2O3 and it worked beautifully but i wonder...

 

Could i use iron chloride as the oxidising agent instead of iron oxide ?? Will this work and if so how will it be different from Fe2O3 ?

 

Will it ignite with the same amount of heat? Will it give off the same amount of energy ? Will the colour be different ? Any dangers (aside from the dangers of the normal method) that i should know about?

 

thnx !! Any help appreciated !!
