The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) and aluminum (Al) to produce iron (Fe) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) is: Fe2O3 + 2Al → 2Fe + Al2O3. This shows the stoichiometric coefficients are 1 for Fe2O3, 2 for Al, 2 for Fe, and 1 for Al2O3, corresponding to option C.
