Question:

Because metals are so reactive, very few are found in nature in pure form. Metallurgy involves reducing the metal ions in ores to the elemental form. The production of manganese from the ore pyrolusite, which contains MnO2, uses aluminum as the reducing agent. Using oxidation states, balance the equation for this process.

MnO (s) + Al(s)Mn(s) + AlO3(s)
