Question
The main reactions occurring in blast furnace during extraction of iron from haematite are:
(i) \[\ce{Fe2O3 + 3CO -> 2Fe + 3CO2}\]
(ii) \[\ce{FeO + SiO2 -> FeSiO3}\]
(iii) \[\ce{Fe2O3 + 3C -> 2Fe + 3CO}\]
(iv) \[\ce{CaO + SiO2 -> CaSiO3}\]

Solution
(i) \[\ce{Fe2O3 + 3CO -> 2Fe + 3CO2}\]
(iv) \[\ce{CaO + SiO2 -> CaSiO3}\]
Explanation:
In blast furnace during extraction of iron, the following two are main reactions.
(i) Reduction of \[\ce{Fe2O3}\] with \[\ce{CO}\]
\[\ce{Fe2O3 + CO -> 2FeO + CO2}\]
\[\ce{2FeO + 2CO -> Fe + 2CO2}\]
\[\ce{Fe2O3 + 3CO -> 2Fe + 3CO2}\]
(ii) Slag formation, \[\ce{CaO + SiO2 -> \underset{Fusible slag}{CaSiO3}}\]
