Solution
Ferric oxide reacts with aluminium to form iron and aluminium oxide. This reaction is known as the thermit reaction.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Ferric oxide}}{Fe2O_{3(s)}} + \underset{\text{Aluminium}}{2Al_{(s)}} ->[Ignited] \underset{\text{Iron}}{2Fe_{(l)}} + \underset{\text{Aluminium oxide}}{Al2O_{3(s)}}+Heat}\]
