Show that oxidation cannot occur without reduction.
Or
Show that oxidation and reduction go side by side.
Here, Al reduces Fe2O3 to Fe while itself gets oxidised to Al2O3. Conversely, Fe2O3 oxidises Al to Al2O3 while itself gets reduced to Fe. Therefore Al acts as a reducing agent while Fe2O3 acts as an oxidising agent.
