COMEDK2017ChemistryGeneral Principles and Processes of Isolation of Metals
Identify the reaction that does not take place in a blast furnace.
Options
- ACaCO ₃ CaO + CO ₂
- BCaO + SiO ₂ CaSiO ₃
- C2 Fe ₂ O ₃+3 C 4 Fe +3 CO ₂
- DCO ₂+ C 2 CO
Correct answer
C. 2 Fe ₂ O ₃+3 C 4 Fe +3 CO ₂
Step-by-step solution
The reaction, 2 Fe ₂ O ₃+3 C 4 Fe +3 CO ₂ , do not occur in blast furnance. This reaction occurs at the end of the process.
