What does Iron oxide carbon make?

Iron oxide carbon makes iron and carbon dioxide through a chemical reaction known as reduction. Iron oxide, or rust, reacts with carbon to produce iron metal and carbon dioxide gas. This process is commonly used in the production of iron and steel.


What reacts with iron oxide to make iron?

Carbon monoxide reacts with iron oxide to produce iron and carbon dioxide in a process known as reduction.


What element could be used to remove oxygen from iron oxide?

Carbon is commonly used to remove oxygen from iron oxide during the process of steelmaking. The carbon combines with the oxygen in the iron oxide to form carbon dioxide gas, leaving behind pure iron.


What elements react well with iron?

Iron works well with carbon and other metals. but i have no idea what they make.


Iron can be produced by reacting iron oxide with carbon in a blast furnace. What type of reaction produces the iron?

We see a reduction reaction stripping the oxygen from iron in a blast furnace. Carbon in the form of coke is added to the furnace to facilitate the reaction. This is the primary chemical reaction that is used to produce iron on an industrial scale. In the reaction, iron oxide and carbon yield iron and carbon dioxide. It looks like this in its balanced form: 2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO2 It is generally thought that carbon monoxide is the actual reducing agent that "steals" the oxygen from the iron to leave it in its elemental state, but what is posted above is the commonly published information.

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.


What happens when iron is added to oxygen?

Nothing unless they are heated. If they are heated it will become iron oxide. Which is the same material that we find the ground


Will a reaction occur when copper is heated with iron oxide?

Yes, a reaction will occur when copper is heated with iron oxide. The iron in iron oxide will react with the copper to form copper oxide and iron.


When iron ore is heated in a blast furnace the products are pure iron and carbon dioxide?

Yes because it becomes iron oxide this is true.


What happens when iron III sulphate is heated?

By heating this compound is thermally dissociated: iron oxide and sulfur dioxide are obtained.


What happens to Iron III chloride when heated?

Iron III chloride undergoes thermal decomposition when heated. It loses its water molecules and breaks down into iron III oxide and hydrogen chloride gas.


What is the word equation for the extraction of iron from the ore iron oxide?

Iron oxide + carbon monoxide -> iron + carbon dioxide


What metal forms a black oxide when heated?

copperCopper (cupric) oxide is produced. Therefore, copper is the metal that produces a black oxide when heated.


What is the name of the substance formed when iron is heated?

The substance formed when iron is heated in the presence of oxygen is called iron oxide, commonly known as rust.


What metal forms a red oxide when heated?

Iron forms a red oxide when heated. This red oxide is commonly known as rust.


What substance in the iron extraction process reduces iron oxide to iron?

It is carbon (in the form of coke) that is added to blast furnaces to reduce iron oxide and recover the iron. This is the usual explanation, though most believe that it is the action of carbon monoxide that is involved. The equation for the reaction between iron oxide and carbon that produces iron and carbon monoxide is this one:2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO2
