Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
Iron is found in hematite, an ore with the formula Fe₂O₃.
It goes into a blast furnace, where burning coke and a forced supply of air react to form mostly carbon monoxide.
C + O₂ ⟶ CO₂
C + CO₂ ⟶ 2CO
At the high temperatures inside the furnace, the carbon monoxide reduces the hematite to liquid iron.
Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⟶ 2Fe + 3CO₂
The iron flows to the bottom of the furnace, where it is drawn off.
