Name an element that could be used to remove oxygen from iron oxide?
Carbon iron oxide - oxygen = carbon dioxide
Is mercury made of carbon and oxygen?
No. The element mercury contains only mercury atoms. The planet Mercury is made mostly of silicon, oxygen, and iron.
What happens to the element in iron ore when the ore is mixed with carbon and heated?
Iron ores most often contain iron combined with oxygen. The carbon comes from a material called coke, which is made from coal. When heated, the carbon reacts with oxygen in the ore, leaving the purified iron metal behind.
Why can the nuclei of carbon oxygen and iron can be found in stars?
Because they are all made inside of stars.
What element could be used to remove oxygen from iron oxide?
Carbon is commonly used to remove oxygen from iron oxide during the process of steelmaking. The carbon combines with the oxygen in the iron oxide to form carbon dioxide gas, leaving behind pure iron.
Are carbon oxygen iron and gold elements?
Yes, carbon, oxygen, iron, and gold are all elements. Elements are substances made up of one type of atom, and each has its own unique chemical properties.
What element removes oxygen from iron oxide?
It's a process...But Smelting and CarbonIron ores consists of oxygen and iron atoms bonded together into molecules. To convert it to metallic iron it must be smelted or sent through a direct reduction process to remove the oxygen. Oxygen-iron bonds are strong, and to remove the iron from the oxygen, a stronger elemental bond must be presented to attach to the oxygen. Carbon is used because the strength of a carbon-oxygen bond is greater than that of the iron-oxygen bond, at high temperatures. Thus, the iron ore must be powdered and mixed with coke, to be burnt in the smelting process.However, it is not entirely as simple as that; carbon monoxide is the primary ingredient of chemically stripping oxygen from iron. Thus, the iron and carbon smelting must be kept at an oxygen deficient (reducing) state to promote burning of carbon to produce CO not CO2.
What is the human body mostly made of a carbon oxygen nitrogen and hydrogen b oxygen calcium carbon and hydrogen c hydrogen iron nitrogen and oxygen?
The human body is made up of only mostly carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. The top four elements are oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, so that would be a. on your list.
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.
How is oxygen removed from iron ore?
Oxygen is removed from iron ore through a process called smelting. This involves heating the iron ore with a reducing agent such as carbon, which reacts with the oxygen in the ore to form carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide, leaving behind the pure iron metal.
How can one make pig iron?
Pig iron is made by heating iron ore with a high carbon content in a blast furnace. The carbon in the ore combines with oxygen to create carbon monoxide, which reduces the iron oxide to iron. The molten iron is then poured into molds to cool and solidify, forming pig iron.
