What reaction occurs when iron oxide reacts with silica in the furnace?
Options
- AFeO + SiO2 → FeSiO3 (slag)
- BFeO + SiO2 → Fe2O3
- CFeS + SiO2 → FeSiO3
- DFe2O3 + SiO2 → FeSiO3 + O2
Correct answer
A. FeO + SiO2 → FeSiO3 (slag)
Step-by-step solution
The reaction produces iron silicate (slag) when iron oxide reacts with silica.
