The following reaction takes place when aluminium powder is heated with `MnO_(2)`
`3MnO_(2)(s)+4Al(s)to3Mn(l)+2Al_(2)O_(3)(l)+"Heat"`
(a) Is aluminium gettuing reduced ?
 (b) zIs `MnO_(2)` getting oxidised ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) No, aluminium is getting oxidised because there is addition of oxygen.
(b) No, `MnO_(2)` is getting reduced because there is removal of oxygen.
