Question:

The reaction that does NOT take place in a blast furnace between 900 K to 1500 K temperature range during extraction of iron is? 

Updated On: Sep 13, 2024
  • FeO + CO \(\to\) Fe + CO2

  • C + CO2 \(\to\) 2CO

  • CaO + SiO2 \(\to\) CaSiO3

  • Fe2O3 + CO \(\to\) 2FeO + CO2

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Fe2O3 + CO → 2FeO + CO2
This reaction does not take place at between 900 K to 1500 K temperature range during extraction of iron.
It takes place at between 500 K to 800 K temperature range.
So, the correct option is (D): Fe2O3 + CO \(\to\) 2FeO + CO2

What are Ores and Minerals? 

Minerals are the naturally occurring, homogeneous inorganic solid substances. They are having a definite chemical composition and crystalline structure, hardness and color. For example, copper pyrite, calamine, etc.

Impurities in an ore are called gauge. The removal of a gauge from the ore is called concentration ore. 

Several steps are involved in the extraction of pure metal from ores. Major steps are as follows –

  • Concentration of the ore
  • Isolation of the metal from its concentrated ore
  • Purification of the metal
