Among the reactions (a) - (d), the reaction(s)
that does/do not occur in the blast furnace
during the extraction of iron is/are :
(a) CaO + SiO2 $\to$ CaSiO3
(b) 3Fe2O3 + CO $\to$ 2Fe3O4 + CO2
(c) FeO + SiO2 $\to$ FeSiO3
(d) FeO $\to$ Fe + ${{1 \over 2}}$O2
Solution
In blast furnace (metallugy of iron) involved
reactions are
<br><br>(a) CaO + SiO<sub>2</sub> $\to$ CaSiO<sub>3</sub>
<br><br>(b) 3Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> + CO $\to$ 2Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> + CO<sub>2</sub>
