and raise the temperature to 2000 °C.
carbon + oxygen carbon dioxide + heat.C(s) + O2(g) CO2(g)
The carbon dioxide then reacts with hot carbon to form carbon monoxide.carbon dioxide + carbon carbon monoxide.CO2(g) + C(s) 2CO(g)
Carbon monoxide then reduces iron in the ore to iron metal.carbon monoxide + iron(III) oxide carbon dioxide + iron.3CO(g) + Fe2O3(s) 3CO2(g) + 2Fe(l)
The temperature where the reduction takes place is above 1500 °C.Iron falls to the bottom of the furnace where the temperature is 2000 °C.
Iron is liquid at this temperature and is tapped off periodically

How much carbon is in pure iron?
If it is pure iron then by definition there is no carbon or anything else present in it, just iron.
Is iron is a pure substance or mixture?
Iron is a pure substance. It's an element (Fe) and a bar of Iron is no mixture. If it was pure iron, then by definition it would be pure. However iron is rarely pure, it is usually in alloy with something.
Is iron a heterogeneous mixture?
No, Iron is a homogeneous mixture as long as the iron is pure
Is an iron rod a mixture?
If the rod is made from pure iron it is not a mixture.
What is the relation between metallic iron and total iron in sponge iron?
If we talk about metallic iron in sponge, we mean content of reduced (pure) iron. Total iron content reflects Fe in any forms (reduced to pure Fe and Fe in oxides)
What is the name of the pure iron?
Pure Iron is called Pure iron.
What useful material can be obtained from hematite?
Hematite is the naturally occuring mineral form of Iron (III) Oxide, or Fe2O3. As such, it is possible to extract pure iron from it.
Why is steel rather than pure iron used to make car bodies?
It is because the iron is not strong enough to be able to handle the pressures that steel can. Pure iron is to soft and weak to be of any use and the iron from the blast furnace has too much carbon in it to be useful. That is the real reason
Iron is a pure metal or alloy?
Iron is a pure metal.
Is iron pure homogeneous heterogeneous?
Pure iron is homogeneous.
Why can I not get pure iron metal?
SigmaAldrich sells pure iron in many different forms. Given that, the alloy of carbon and iron that we call steel is far more common for two reasons: iron picks up carbon during smelting (the second phase of iron production is to burn off the excess carbon) and steel is a far more useful metal than iron.
Why is steel superiour to iron?
Steel is very resistant to corrosion. It is hard and strong. It is resistant to stretching, depending on the type of steel; low-alloy steel and nickel steel. Steel is maleable, but not 'soft' like pure iron, iron is much more useful when in the form of steel. Pure iron is weak, too soft to be used in construction or for any building purposes.
How much carbon is in pure iron?
If it is pure iron then by definition there is no carbon or anything else present in it, just iron.
Is iron seen in its pure form usually?
Pure iron is rarely used; frequently iron alloys or coated iron are more important.
Why is steel used to make the body of cars instead of iron?
Iron can rust. Actually it is because the iron is not strong enough to be able to handle the pressures that steel can. Pure iron is to soft and weak to be of any use and the iron from the blast furnace has too much carbon in it to be useful. That is the real reason
Does iron have much carbon in it?
iron has no carbon in it if it is pure iron
Is iron is a pure substance or mixture?
Iron is a pure substance. It's an element (Fe) and a bar of Iron is no mixture. If it was pure iron, then by definition it would be pure. However iron is rarely pure, it is usually in alloy with something.
