Why calcination apply to ore?

Calcination is applied to an ore because for the extraction of carbon from an ore.Mostly the ore is consist of carbon and we can easily provide carbon from it. Calcination is generally applied to an ore because of our daily use.Iknow that my given answer is wrong but please accept it i will be thankfull to you people. THE ANSWER IS GIVEN BY FARIDA...REHMAN..... GOOD LUCK...... I KNOW YOU CAN GET A BETTER STUDY FROM IT.


How is metal produced from ore?

Metal is produced from ore through a process called smelting, where the ore is heated in a furnace with a reducing agent such as carbon to extract the metal. The metal is separated from the impurities in the ore and then further processed to obtain the desired purity and form. This process varies depending on the type of metal and ore being used.


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 diamond a mineral gem ore or other?

Diamond is an allotrope of the element carbon, so may be classified as a mineral (it can be colored by elemental impurities). About 20% of all diamonds mined are gem-quality stones, leaving the remainder to be classified as industrial diamonds. Diamond is not an ore.


How is copper extracted from its ore?

heat the copper up with some carbon because carbon has a higher reactivty level so the oxygen will grab on to the carbon and become (Co2). (CuO+C) heat =(Cu+Co2) Another technique is know as copper leaching (see related link) Ore is dug out and then trucked to a copper place. It is then crushed mixed with chemicals its then made into various products.

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 do you get tin out of a tin ore?

you heat the tin ore and carbon together to produce tin and carbon dioxide


What ore is steel refined from?

Steel is made from iron ore and carbon.


Why cant carbon be used to extract sodium from its ore?

Carbon cannot be used to extract sodium from its ore because sodium is more reactive than carbon. When carbon reacts with sodium ore, carbon will preferentially react with oxygen in the ore to form carbon dioxide rather than extracting sodium from the ore. Therefore, other methods such as electrolysis are used to extract sodium from its 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.


Why is carbon used to extract iron from it's ore?

Carbon is used to extract iron from its ore because carbon is a powerful reducing agent that reacts with the iron oxide in the ore to form carbon monoxide. This carbon monoxide then reacts with the iron oxide to form pure iron, while carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct. This process, known as the blast furnace process, allows for the efficient extraction of iron from its ore.


How is oxygen removed from iron ore?

Oxygen is removed from iron ore through a process called smelting. This involves heating the iron ore with a reducing agent such as carbon, which reacts with the oxygen in the ore to form carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide, leaving behind the pure iron metal.


Can heat and carbon can be used to release iron from a ore?

Yes, heating the ore in the presence of carbon can be used to extract iron from the ore through a process called reduction. The carbon reduces the iron oxide in the ore to elemental iron, leaving behind carbon dioxide gas. This process is commonly used in the production of iron and steel.


Iron can be extracted from its ore using carbon. What type of reaction is this?

The extraction of iron from its ore using carbon is a reduction reaction, specifically a redox reaction. Carbon reduces the iron oxide in the ore by donating electrons to the iron, resulting in the formation of elemental iron and carbon dioxide.


How do you extract tin from it's ore?

Tin can be extracted from its ore, cassiterite, through a process called smelting. The ore is heated with carbon in a furnace to separate the tin from the other elements. The tin melts and can be collected as it is denser than the impurities.


What happend to the elements in iron ore when the ore is mixed with carbon and heated?

It becomes stronger then before


How Is Iron Ore Purified using Carbon?

Iron ore, carbon (also called 'coke') and limestone are heated in a blast furnace. The carbon reacts with oxygen blasted into the furnace from the bottom to form carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide then reduces the the iron ore to molten iron and becomes carbon dioxide in the process. The limestone in the furnace melts the impurities and decomposes to calcium oxide (quicklime). Quicklime and impurities mix together to form 'slag'. The slag floats on top of the molten iron so that the iron can be drained off at the bottom.
