Answer 1

Answer:

here is ur Answer........

Answer 2

One of the best steps involved in the extraction of iron from its haematite ore is by reducing the iron (III) oxide to iron and simultaneously oxidizing carbon to carbon dioxide. (reduction reaction)

• Iron extraction is the last step involved in the process of metallurgy that consists of three steps: concentration of the ore, extraction of metal and purification of the same.
• Hematite contains an iron oxide (III) oxide which gets displaced by carbon as carbon is more active.
• Reaction: $Fe_{2}O_{3}$(s) + 3CO(s) → 2Fe(l) + $3CO_{2}$(g)
• Another way of extracting iron is to treat the ore in the blast furnaces.
• Reaction: (upper part of the furnace):
• $3Fe_{2}O_{3}$ + CO → $2Fe_{3}O_{4}$ + $CO_{2}$
• $Fe_{3}O_{4}$ + 4CO → 3Fe + $4CO_{2}$....(Iron is extracted)
