Oxygen is not blown into pure iron, it is blown into molten iron ore (many impurities) and coke has been added to the mix as well. the coke reacts with the impurities and the oxygen to purify the iron ore.

What is O2 used for in a cell?
In chemistry, everything is made of atoms. In the periodic table, there are different elements. Every element is made of atoms and 02 means that there are two oxygen atoms. When there is two or more atoms, it makes a compound. When there is two oxygen atoms, the compound is oxygen in which we breathe in.

What happens if you put a burning splint into nitrogen?
ah yes, the classic which gas is in which test tube experiment... Oxygen accelerates the combustion of organic material. The wood splint will burn more brightly and quickly if placed in oxygen. If the splint is 'blown out' leaving only a glowing tip it will reignite when placed in oxygen.
Who invented the process to remove impurities by blasts of cold air blown through heated iron?
Bessemer, fellow mca student
What metal did Henry Bessemer invent a cheaper way to make?
Steel. He figured out that if air was blown into the molten iron it would remove the particles that were impurities in the iron. This made steel.
How did steel processing change in the 1850s?
Henry Bessemer invented the Bessemer process a way to manufacture steel quickly and cheaply by blasting hot air through melted iron to quickly remove impurities.

Why does corn star burn when it is blown out of a tube but doesn't burn when in a pile?
Because when it is in a pile oxygen can't get though it. But when it is being blown out of a tube oxygen gets through it and around it so it burns.

How does the earth maintain oxygen?
the earth maintains oxygen by trees and flowers and other plants that produce oxygen. it maintains it because the seeds from all the plants that produce oxygen get blown away by the wind and get replanted and then after that it grows then another seed gets blown away and another organism grows , its a big cycle that is happening as i type! its quite interesting!!!
