Zinc metal can be extracted by reduction of its oxide with carbon.
Zinc oxide is heated with carbon produces zinc metal.
ZnO(s) + C(s) --------> Zn (s)+ CO(g)
Zinc Oxide is reduced to Zinc
Carbon is oxidized to Carbon monoxide.

HEY!!
The balanced chemical reaction is as follows:
ZnO + C → Zn + CO
Carbon is oxidised and the substance reduced.
