**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Reaction**: The reaction in question involves the reduction of chromium oxide (Cr₂O₃) by aluminum (Al). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction can be written as: \[ Cr_2O_3 + 2Al \rightarrow 2Cr + Al_2O_3 \] In this reaction, chromium is reduced as it gains electrons, and aluminum is oxidized as it loses electrons. ...
