The temperature of blast furnace to produce iron from its ore Fe2O3\mathrm{F}{\mathrm{e}_2}{\mathrm{O}_3} varies from 500∘C^\circ C at the top of the furnace to about 1900∘C^\circ C at the bottom of the furnace. The reaction between the ore Fe2O3\mathrm{F}{\mathrm{e}_2}{\mathrm{O}_3} and CO at the lowest temperature (∼\sim500∘C^\circ C) is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Fe2O3+3CO→2Fe+3CO2\mathrm{F}{\mathrm{e}_2}{\mathrm{O}_3} + 3\mathrm{CO} \to 2\mathrm{Fe} + 3\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{O}_2}
The correct answer is C because at the lowest temperature in the blast furnace, iron(III) oxide is directly reduced to iron by carbon monoxide.
