Which among the following reactions occurs at the zone of slag formation in extraction of iron by blast furnace?
Options
- AC + 1 2 O ₂ CO
- BCaO + SiO ₂ CaSiO ₃
- CFe ₂ O ₃+3 CO 2 Fe +3 CO ₂
- DFe ₂ O ₃+3 C 2 Fe +3 CO
Correct answer
B. CaO + SiO ₂ CaSiO ₃
Step-by-step solution
The slag formed in the extraction of iron from haematite in the blast furnace is CaSiO ₃ . The reaction in the blast furnace is as follows: CaO + SiO ₂ CaSiO ₃ (slag)
