Blowing into molten cast iron causes the oxygen(02) to react with the carbon thus forming carbon dioxide. This is then bubbled away as the temperature is close to 20000 Celsius, this energizes the the gas which causes it to rise.

What do you get when you mix aluminum and oxygen and iron?

When you mix aluminum and oxygen, you get aluminum oxide. If you mix iron with aluminum oxide, the aluminum will react with the iron oxide, forming a thermite reaction that produces molten iron and aluminum oxide slag.


What is the word for melted iron?

The word for melted iron is "molten iron."


How is iron created in the process of metal production?

Iron is created in the process of metal production through the reduction of iron ore in a blast furnace. The iron ore is heated with carbon, which removes oxygen from the ore, resulting in the formation of molten iron. This molten iron is then cast into molds to create various iron products.


When oxygen is blown into pure iron to remove impurities Wont it react with Iron itself to give iron oxide?

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.

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.


Is partially molten iron a pure substance or a mixture?

Partially molten iron is considered a mixture because it consists of a combination of liquid iron and solid iron phases. This mixture contains variable compositions of iron and other elements, depending on the conditions of the material.
