It's a basic intro to organic chemistry topic in college. It's a redox reaction or oxidation-reduction reaction, is a chemical reaction that involves the transfer of electrons between chemicals. This is basically thermite. But that's not the only way to do a redox reaction. You could probably find the ratios on a Wikipedia page on it. Although they will probably have you calculate mols for an exact reaction. 😂 For the electron exchange.

And the Gustav was capable of firing a seven-ton shell and hitting a target, accurately, twenty-three miles away. I mean, you could drop bombs on it every day for a month without ever disabling it. But, drop a commando, one man with just a bag of this, and he could melt right through four inches of solid steel and destroy that gun forever.
