Magnesium is a more reactive metal therefore for using any extraction method you would have to use electrolysis, which is expensive.
Whereas for zinc it is extracted from its ore chemically by reduction using carbon. When an ore is reduced you are taking the oxygen out of the metal, this is because carbon can only take the oxygen away from metals which are less reactive than carbon its self.
For example, zinc oxide is reduced in a blast furnace to make zinc.
Reducing agent should have more negative ΔG value. In case of zinc oxide ,Zn has more negative ΔG value then CO as you can see from elingum diagram, so it can not be reduced by CO.
of course we breathe out carbon dioxide not carbon monoxide
Soda does not have any amounts of carbon monoxide. It has carbon dioxide dissolved in it, but no carbon monoxide.
the process of carbon reduction is called carbon reduction process
Carbon monoxide.
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water vapor.
Carbon monoxide is the product of a not complete combustion of organic materials.Nitrogen is extracted from air by cryogenic distillation.Sulfur is extracted from mines or from sulfides.Carbon is graphite, soot or diamond.
Tin is extracted from its ore by heating it with carbon or carbon monoxide.
If the reduction involves carbon getting oxidized, it would be... Zinc oxide + carbon -----------> Zinc + carbon monoxide that's ZnO + C ----------> Zn + CO or if the reduction involves carbon monoxide getting oxidized, it would be... Zinc oxide + carbon monoxide -----------------> Zinc + carbon dioxide that's ZnO + CO ----------> Zn + CO2
well basically metal is extracted using carbon monoxide
metals are extracted from their ores according to their reactivity series.firstly, metals that are more reactive that carbon are extracted by electrolysis whic is breaking the compounds down using electricity.secondly, metals that are less reactive than carbon are extracted by reduction in which carbon is added to the metal ore, carbon react with oxygen and the metal remain by itself pure.example: Zinc oxide + Carbon ----> Zinc + Carbon dioxideGold and Platinum are found in nature by themselves.
Iron and tin can. But zinc is done by electrolysis as it is higher up the reactivity chain than either iron or tin- making it harder to extracted via reduction of CO to co2
Oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. Reduction of nitrogen monoxide back to nitrogen. Oxidation of hydrocarbons to water and carbon dioxide.
The symbol equation for the reduction of iron ore with carbon monoxide is Fe2O3 + 3CO ----> 2Fe + 3CO2. Iron is extracted from its oxide ores, primarily hematite, by reduction with carbon monoxide in a blast furnace.
Carbon monoxide
For example methane gas; after burning carbon dioxide and water are released.
reduction od potassium sulfate by reducing agents such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide at high temperature.
The reaction between magnesium oxide and carbon at 2000C to form magnesium metal and carbon monoxide is an example of the reduction of magnesium oxide to magnesium metal.
