Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
To state the balanced equation for the reaction which occurs when iron (III) oxide is reduced with carbon monoxide.
Concept introduction:
Chemical equation is written in such a way that the symbolic representation of reaction represents the reaction taking place in the system. The reactants are written on the left-hand side and the products are written on the right-hand side of the equation and are separated by an arrow, two or more reactants and products are separated by “+”. The reactions for those the number of atoms of each element in the reactant and in the product side are equal, such reactions are said to be a balanced chemical equation.
(b)
Interpretation:
To state the balanced equation for the reaction which occurs when the excess carbon in pig iron is removed by the basic oxygen process.
