Question

iron oxide can be reduced by using carbon but not aluminium oxide why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

An element higher in the reactivity series will displace an element lower in the reactivity series from anything it is bonded to. For example in the thermit reaction iron oxide reacts with aluminium. Because aluminium is higher in the reactivity series, it is able to 'grab' the oxygen from the iron.
