Hematite, Fe₂O3, is an important ore of iron. (An ore is a natural substance from which the metal can be profitably obtained.) The free metal is obtained by
reacting hematite with carbon monoxide, CO, in a blast furnace. Carbon monoxide is formed in the furnace by partial combustion of carbon. The reaction is
Fe₂O3(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)
How many grams of iron can be produced from 1.34 kg Fe₂03?
g Fe
The extraction of aluminum metal from the aluminum hydroxide in bauxite ore by the Hall-Héroult process is one of the most remarkable success stories of late
19th century practical chemistry, turning aluminum from a rare and precious metal into the cheap commodity it is today. In the first step, aluminum hydroxide
reacts to form alumina and water:
2 Al(OH)3(s) → Al2O3(s) + 3 H₂O(g)
In the second step, alumina and carbon react to form aluminum and carbon dioxide:
2 Al₂O3(s) + 3 C(s)→4 Al(s) + 3 CO₂(g)
Write the net chemical equation for the production of aluminum from aluminum hydroxide and carbon. Be sure your equation is balanced.
What type of reaction is represented by the following equation:
