Can zinc iron and tin all be extracted by heating their ores with carbon monoxide?

Iron and tin can. But zinc is done by electrolysis as it is higher up the reactivity chain than either iron or tin- making it harder to extracted via reduction of CO to co2

What is the word equation for the reaction between iron oxide and carbon monoxide?
The symbol equation for the reduction of iron ore with carbon monoxide is Fe2O3 + 3CO ----> 2Fe + 3CO2. Iron is extracted from its oxide ores, primarily hematite, by reduction with carbon monoxide in a blast furnace.
What substance in the iron extraction process reduces iron oxide to iron?
It is carbon (in the form of coke) that is added to blast furnaces to reduce iron oxide and recover the iron. This is the usual explanation, though most believe that it is the action of carbon monoxide that is involved. The equation for the reaction between iron oxide and carbon that produces iron and carbon monoxide is this one:2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO2

Which metal is less reactive than sodium but cannot be extracted heating with carbon in a furnace?
Several: Lithium, Barium, Strontium, Calcium, Magnesium, Aluminium and Titanium
Why is carbon used to extract iron from it's ore?
The carbon combines with the oxygen in the ore, separating it from the iron.Excess carbon alloys with the extracted iron, hardening it.

How is a metal made?
Metals are extracted from their ore through chemical reaction. Iron ore is an oxide of iron. The oxygen is removed from the ore by heating carbon with the ore to create molten iron and Carbon Dioxide.

How would carbon monoxide cause death?
Carbon monoxide is exactly like carbon dioxide, except that it is missing an oxygen atom. Animal blood uses iron, the iron rusts making the blood red, to transport oxygen by combining the iron with the oxygen making iron oxide, or rust. The oxygen in rust can be easily taken from iron because oxygen combines with many things more easily than it does with iron. One such molecule is carbon monoxide. When the carbon monoxide is breathed in, it mixes with the blood, just like the other air that gets sucked in. When the carbon monoxide gets into the blood, the oxygen that is attached to the iron, the body attaches oxygen to iron to transport it and it uses it by combining it with carbon to dispose of waste, leaves the iron and goes to the carbon monoxide which makes carbon dioxide. So very simply carbon monoxide sucks the oxygen from the blood making the person suffocate, because they can no longer use the oxygen they breathe in.

Iron is made with carbon or oxygen?
Neither. Iron is mined and then extracted from its ore.Steel, though is often made by combining iron with carbon

What chemical destroys iron in the blood?
The interference is from carbon monoxide (CO); but iron is not destroyed.
Which gas binds to hemoglobin more strongly than oxygen?
Carbon monoxide. It has ten times higher binding efficiency to iron in the heme group than oxygen does

What mass of carbon monoxide is needed to produce 143.9g of iron according to Fe2O3 3CO --2 Fe 3CO2?
To find the mass of carbon monoxide needed, we need to use the stoichiometric ratio between iron and carbon monoxide. From the balanced equation, we can see that 3 moles of carbon monoxide produce 2 moles of iron. First, calculate the molar mass of iron (Fe), which is 55.85 g/mol. Next, use the molar ratio between iron and carbon monoxide (2:3) to find the moles of carbon monoxide required. Finally, convert the moles of carbon monoxide to grams using its molar mass (28.01 g/mol).
What is carbon monxide used for?
Carbon monoxide can be used as a fuel for inndustrial operations, its used in Fischer-Tropsch process, and as a reducing agent (For example, when it passes over hot iron oxides, the oxides are reduced to metallic iron, and the carbon monoxide is oxidized to carbon dioxide.)
