The multistep smelting of ferric oxide to form elemental
Chapter 3, Problem 3.120(choose chapter or problem)
The multistep smelting of ferric oxide to form elemental iron occurs at high temperatures in a blast furnace. In the first step, ferric oxide reacts with carbon monoxide to form Fe3O4. 1 16 1 12 ethanol ethane propane benzene 136 Chapter 3 Stoichiometry of Formulas and Equations siL48593_ch03_089-139 21:11:07 17:16pm Page 136 Apago PDF Enhancer This substance reacts with more carbon monoxide to form iron(II) oxide, which reacts with still more carbon monoxide to form molten iron. Carbon dioxide is also produced in each step. (a) Write an overall balanced equation for the iron-smelting process. (b) How many grams of carbon monoxide are required to form 45.0 metric tons of iron from ferric oxide?
