To determine the conditions under which magnesium (Mg) can reduce aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) and aluminum (Al) can reduce magnesium oxide (MgO), we can refer to the Ellingham diagram, which illustrates the stability of metal oxides at varying temperatures. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Ellingham Diagram**: - The Ellingham diagram plots the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) for the formation of oxides as a function of temperature. The lower the ΔG, the more stable the oxide. 2. **Reduction of Al₂O₃ by Mg**: ...
