Answer 1

$\huge \huge \mathtt \red{A} \blue{n} \pink{s} \purple{w} \blue{e} \orange{r}$

The chemical process used for obtaining a metal from its oxide is reduction. In this process, metal oxides are reduced by using suitable reducing agents such as carbon or highly reactive metals to displace the metals from their oxides.

Answer 2

Answer:

Any metal below carbon can theoretically be extracted from its oxide by heating with carbon (coke or charcoal). Compounds of these less reactive are reduced by heating with carbon e.g. copper and silver. Reduction is the loss of oxygen from a compound.
