When aluminium powder is heated with manganese dioxide, the following reaction takes place:
3MnO2(s) + 4Al(s) → 3Mn(l) + 2Al2O3(s) + heat
When manganese powder is heated with aluminum oxide, no reaction takes place because manganese is less reactive than aluminium and hence there will be no displacement reaction.
