Hello,

Fe2O3 is the chemical formula for ferric Oxide. Your question is supposed to be MCQ. Answer to it is:- Smelting by carbon.

Chemical reaction equation : 2 Fe2O3 (s)+ 3C(s) -> 3CO2 (g)+ 4Fe (l)

explanation:- when two unit of ferric oxide and 3 unit of Carbon is mixed in solid state at high temperature then the end product of the chemical reaction is 3 unit of Carbon Dioxide in gas state and 4 unit of Iron( Fe) in liquid state.  this reaction is also known as Smelting with Carbon.

Hope it helps!

Hello aspirant

Hematite ( FeO) is ore of iron . The free metal Fe is obtained  in a large scale from  hematite by reducing it with carbon monoxide , co in a blast furnace.

FeO (solid)  + 3co (gas) → 2Fe (solid) + 3CO ( gas)

iron is obtained in solid state with releade of CO

Hello,

Haematite (Fe2O3) is the major ore of Iron. Iron is extracted from this ore through metallurgical processes.

The major steps include:

  • Concentration of ore. Fe2O3 is concentrated using the Calcination Process.
  • Extraction of metal from the ore. The concentrated ore is fed into the blast furnace. With temperatures above 2200K, the ore reacts with oxygen and coke to yield the metal.
  • Then several purification processes like Slagging are used to obtain pure metal.

For more details, you can refer NCERT text book lesson Metallurgy. You will be able to get the detailed chemical reactions involved also.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
