Iron can be extracted from its ore using carbon.what type of reaction is this
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.
Aluminum is extracted from bauxite, the ore in which aluminum oxide is found, through a refining process known as the Bayer process. The bauxite is mixed sodium hydroxide and heated, which separates the aluminum oxide because it dissolves in the sodium hydroxide while the rest of the bauxite does not.
No, it cannot be extracted this way as aluminium is a much stronger reducing agent than carbon and has greater affinity to oxygen. It is rather extracted by the process of electrolysis by passing electricity through molten aluminum ore which is bauxite mixed with cryolite.
Depending on the reactivity of metal combined in the ore . It can be done by thermal reduction , or by electrolysis. NB Iron ore is reduced by thermally, in the blast furnace. Bauxite ( Aluminium oxide) is reduced by electrolysis, in an electrolysis plant.
The methods used to extract minerals from ores vary; each ore has its own suitable method(s) of extraction. For example, iron can be extracted from its ore through the blast furnace method, while more reactive minerals (such as aluminum) may need to be extracted through electrolysis.
No
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.

which ore is aluminum extracted from
Miners extract iron ore from the ground.
reactive metals can often be extracted by electrolysis where there ore is disolved into a solvent and an electric current is passed through.
Aluminum is extracted from bauxite, the ore in which aluminum oxide is found, through a refining process known as the Bayer process. The bauxite is mixed sodium hydroxide and heated, which separates the aluminum oxide because it dissolves in the sodium hydroxide while the rest of the bauxite does not.
You smelt (melt the iron ore in a furnace so that all the iron is extracted from the stone and other things that are stuck onto or near the iron ore.
Iron is extracted from iron ore. Copper is extracted from several ores, Chalcopyrite being one.
