Question

Iron oxide on heating with carbon monoxide gas reacts to form a solid iron and liberates carbon dioxide gas.
Give suitable reaction.

Answer 1

Answer:

Reaction of Iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) with carbon monoxide (CO) to form iron (Fe) and carbon dioxide (CO2), is a redox reaction as both oxidation of carbon monoxide and reduction of iron is taking place. The equation can be written as: Fe2O3+3CO→2Fe+3CO2.

Answer 2

Answer:

Fe2O3+3CO ---> 2Fe+3CO2
