Identify the reaction that does not take place in a blast furnace.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

2\mathrm{F}{\mathrm{e}_2}{\mathrm{O}_3} + 3\mathrm{C} \to 4\mathrm{Fe} + 3\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{O}_2}

Option C (

2\mathrm{F}{\mathrm{e}_2}{\mathrm{O}_3} + 3\mathrm{C} \to 4\mathrm{Fe} + 3\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{O}_2}

) is correct because the reduction of

Fe_2O_3

primarily occurs via CO in the blast furnace, not directly with carbon.
