Iron is extracted from iron ore in huge container called blast fernance. iron ores such as haematite contain iron 3 oxide Fe2O3 .the oxygen must be removed from the iron 2 oxide in order to leave the iron behind. reaction in which oxygen is removed are called reduction reaction
carbon is more reactive than iron, so it can displace iron 3 oxide.
