There are two equations, the first to describe how the carbon reacts with the oxygen in the air,

Carbon + Oxygen ---- Carbon Monoxide

or

2C + 02 ---- 2CO

The second describes how the carbon monoxide reacts with the iron oxide forming carbon dioxide and pure iron,

Carbon Monoxide + Iron Oxide ---- Iron + Carbon Dioxide

or

3 CO + Fe2O3 ---- 2 Fe + 3 CO2








Another might be


iron oxide + carbon --> carbon dioxide + iron
