Chromium can be made by heating chromium(III) oxide with aluminium powder.
2Al+Cr2O3→Al2O3+2Cr \mathrm{2Al + Cr_{2}O_{3} \rightarrow Al_{2}O_{3} + 2Cr} 2Al+Cr2O3→Al2O3+2CrStatement 1: Aluminium is the reducing agent.
Statement 2: Chromium(III) oxide is oxidised.
Statement 3: Chromium(III) oxide is the oxidising agent.
