How can carbon be used to extract a metal from its ore?
Metals are extracted from ores. An ore is a rock that contains enough of a mineral (metal compound) for the metal to be extracted from it. Most metals are extracted from an ore by reduction with carbon or by electrolysis.
Why is carbon used to extract metal from ores?
It's used as a reducing agent. The carbon (or specifically the Carbon Monoxide produced by the heat of the furnace) "grabs" the oxygen from the ore (an oxide) producing Carbon Dioxide and the metal. The combustion of the carbon also provides the heat required for the extraction. If the ore is not an oxide, another method of extraction needs to be used.
How are minerals extracted from their ores?
metals are extracted from their ores according to their reactivity series.firstly, metals that are more reactive that carbon are extracted by electrolysis whic is breaking the compounds down using electricity.secondly, metals that are less reactive than carbon are extracted by reduction in which carbon is added to the metal ore, carbon react with oxygen and the metal remain by itself pure.example: Zinc oxide + Carbon ----> Zinc + Carbon dioxideGold and Platinum are found in nature by themselves.
How can carbon dioxide be produced using an acid and a metal carbonate?
you add hcl and caco3
Is C a metal or nonmetal?
C is carbon, and carbon is a non metal.
Which oxide can be reduced to the metal using carbon?
Anything below carbon on the reactivity series.

What method is used to extract metals that are above carbon in the reactivity series?
Usually they put electricity into the metal ion solution to reverse the ionization

How are metals extractive?
well basically metal is extracted using carbon monoxide

What metal do you extract from haematite?
Iron
What factors determines the method used to extract a metal?
Its position on the reactivity series. The more reactive the metal, the harder it is to extract from its ore.
Is carbon in the non metal or metal family?
Carbon is a non-metal.
Which element is used to extract iron?
Carbon
Is C a metal or nonmetal?
C is carbon, and carbon is a non metal.
