What element does carbon combine with in the atmosphere?

Oxygen. Carbon burns to form carbon dioxide, incomplete combustion with insifficient oxygen will produce carbon monoxide.


Why is titanium not extracted by heating rutile with carbon?

Titanium is not extracted by heating rutile with carbon because titanium has a stronger affinity for carbon compared to rutile. This means that titanium will form an alloy with carbon instead of being extracted. Additional processes, such as the Kroll process, are used to extract titanium from its ores.


How are metals that are less reactive than carbon extracted from their oxides?

Metals less reactive than carbon, such as copper and silver, are extracted by reduction using carbon as a reducing agent. The metal oxide is heated with carbon (in the form of coke) to form carbon monoxide, which then reduces the metal oxide to the pure metal and carbon dioxide.


How copper can be extracted from copper(II)oxide using carbon?

Copper can be extracted from copper(II) oxide by heating a mixture of copper(II) oxide and carbon. The carbon, in the form of charcoal or coke, reduces the copper oxide to form copper metal and carbon dioxide gas. The reaction can be represented as: CuO + C -> Cu + CO2.


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

No, zinc cannot be extracted by heating its ores with carbon monoxide. Zinc is typically extracted by roasting its sulfide ores to form zinc oxide, which is then reduced using carbon in a process called smelting. Iron and tin can be extracted by heating their respective ores with carbon monoxide in a process known as reduction.
