Question
How is the following metallic oxide reduced? Write equations:
Iron (ll) oxide
Advertisements
Solution
Iron is a moderately reactive metal; its oxide is reduced by Carbon Reduction Process.
\[\ce{FeO + CO ->[750-500^\circ C] Fe + CO2}\]
\[\ce{4FeO + O2 -> 2Fe2O3}\]
\[\ce{Fe2O3 + 3CO ->[600^\circ C-400^\circ C]2Fe + 3CO2}\]
