Answer: I'm not sure what answer to give you since there are no answer choices, but here is what I got.

Explanation:

Mg is a reducing agent, Fe 2O 3 is an oxidizing agent.

Igniting a mixture of Fe2O3 and Al with a magnesium ribbon fuse produces molten iron and aluminum oxide in an impressive exothermic reaction.

Hope this helped a little:(
