Chemistry Question on General Principles and Processes of Isolation of Elements

The reaction that does NOT take place in a blast furnace between 900 K to 1500 K temperature range during extraction of iron is?

A

FeO + CO →\to Fe + CO2

B

C + CO2 →\to 2CO

C

CaO + SiO2 →\to CaSiO3

D

Fe2O3 + CO →\to 2FeO + CO2

Answer

Fe2O3 + CO →\to 2FeO + CO2

Explanation

Solution

Fe2O3 + CO → 2FeO + CO2
This reaction does not take place at between 900 K to 1500 K temperature range during extraction of iron.
It takes place at between 500 K to 800 K temperature range.
So, the correct option is (D): Fe2O3 + CO →\to 2FeO + CO2
