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.

Fe2O3 + 3CO = 2Fe + 3CO2 or

FeO + CO = Fe + CO2 or

Fe3O4 + 4CO = 3Fe + 4CO2

All three oxides of iron are in different oxidation states. The three are nominally Haematite, Iron (II) oxide and Magnetite.

Why is the reaction between nitrogen monoxide and carbon monoxide very fast?

Because they are alkanes therefore, they can be attached to each other easily (alkanes means that both nitrogen monoxide and carbon monoxide are single-bonded).


Is it possible to write a balanced chemical reaction equation for every chemical reaction?

Yup, for instance a reaction between carbon and oxygen to make carbon monoxide can be written as carbon + oxygen = carbon monoxide OR as C + O = CO2 it's basically like a maths sum only with the shortened names from the periodic table instead of numbers.
