The ore that carbon is normally obtained from is ... coal!
There is a rather rare mineral made of pure carbon called ... diamond!
There is a large family of common minerals containing carbon, called carbonates, but they are never used as a source for elemental carbon. They include limestone (calcite, aragonite), dolomite, siderite, barite, cassiterite, cerussite, strontianite, etc.

Which of these is not an ore copper carbon silver iron?
copper, silver and carbon are not real ores but could be found as pure elements: carbon as coal, or diamond. Silver as nuggets. Copper as native copper specimen. Iron is almost never found in the free elemental state, and should be extracted from iron ore, which is not iron, but mainly made of iron oxides.
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.
What two processes are used to extract metals?
There are 3 means of extracting metals that are used more than any others and they are: Reduction with carbon: An ore of a metal which is less reactive than carbon is heated with carbon and the more reactive carbon will separate the metallic element from its ore e.g extraction of Iron in a blast furnace Electrolysis: An electrical current is passed through a solution of the metal ore and the metal is split from its ore and collects at an electrode, this is done for metals more reactive than carbon Extraction by other metals: As some metals are more reactive than the other this can be used to split up the metallic ore, an example of this is the extraction of Titanium which involves the use of several other more reactive metals.
What is the name of the compound within this ore in which aluminum is found?
The most common ore of aluminium is bauxite.
Which metal ore do you m ine to extract steel?
No ore contains steel. However, IRON ore, such as taconite, produces iron. When alloyed with other metals and carbon, it becomes steel.
Is carbon found in ores or minerals?
Carbon is a mineral with many different allotropes (structurally different arrangements of the same compound) some of which are found in the Earth's crust (eg. Graphite and Diamond). An ore is a type of rock that contains important minerals such as gold ore or diamond ore.Usually the term 'ore' is reserved to rocks containing economically useful metals but 'carbon ore' is not a contradiction.
Is carbon an ore?
Carbon is an element common in many ores. an ore is a composition of many elements
How do you extract tin from it's ore?
Tin is extracted from its ore by heating it with carbon or carbon monoxide.
How do you get tin out of a tin ore?
you heat the tin ore and carbon together to produce tin and carbon dioxide
Which of these is not an ore copper carbon silver iron?

Iron is almost never found in the free elemental state, and should be extracted from iron ore, which is not iron, but mainly made of iron oxides.
What ore is steel refined from?
Steel is made from iron ore and carbon.
Why is carbon used to extract iron from it's ore?
The carbon combines with the oxygen in the ore, separating it from the iron.Excess carbon alloys with the extracted iron, hardening it.
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.
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.
What metals are found in Ukraine?
The Ukraine has huge deposits of coal and iron ore. Therefore, the main minerals in Ukraine are carbon and haematite.
What ore is copper found in?
a copper ore
What happend to the elements in iron ore when the ore is mixed with carbon and heated?
It becomes stronger then before
