Question

Which metal oxides are reduced by carbon below 700°c?

Answer 1

Then carbon can be used to extract any of the metals below it in the Reactivity ... Here is the equation for the reaction of lead oxide and carbon: ... 2 PbO(l) + C(s) 2 Pb(s) + CO2(g)

Answer 2

Explanation:

Answer:

Metals such as zinc, iron and copper are present in ores as their oxides. Each of these oxides is heated with carbon to obtain the metal. The metal oxide loses oxygen, and is therefore reduced. The carbon gains oxygen, and is therefore oxidised...
