2Al+3/2O_{2}\rightarrow Al_{2}O_{3}......................... (-827 KJ/mol)
2Cr+3/2O_{2}\rightarrow Cr_{2}O_{3}.........................  (-540 KJ/mol)
_________________________________          (On subtracting)
2Al+Cr_{2}O_{3}\rightarrow Al_{2}O_{3}+2Cr      ...............(-287 KJ/mol)                                                       

In the above reaction, we see that \Delta_f G^0 of formation of Cr is negative (-287 KJ/mol) Hence the reduction of  Cr _ 2 O _3 with aluminium is possible.
