    Question

    Which of the following statements for the given chemical

    reaction is true? Fe2O3 + 2Al =  Al2O3 + 2Fe
    A Aluminium is the oxidising agent Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Iron oxide is the oxidising agent Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Aluminium is getting reduced Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Iron is getting reduced Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Aluminum (Al) undergoes oxidation reactions that increase its oxidation number from zero to three while also introducing oxygen into the mix. Fe2O3 acts as an oxidising agent. Due to the removal of oxygen from Fe2O3 and the addition of Al, Fe2O3 is reduced to Fe. Aluminum (Al) thus serves as the reducing agent.
