Question

Why coke is used to make iron not coal?​

Answer 1

$\huge\mathfrak\purple{☟ \: \: \: answer \: \: \: \: ✎}$

Coke is used as a fuel and a reducing agent in melting iron ore. It is produced by baking coal until it becomes carbon by burning off impurities without burning up the coal itself. When coke is consumed it generates intense heat but little smoke, making it ideal for smelting iron and steel.

Answer 2

Coke is used as a fuel and also as a reducing agent in melting iron ore.

And though it is obtained by baking coal, so it is only the reason why coke isn't used to make iron and not coal.
