Q. On igniting ${Fe}_{2}O_{3}$ at 14000${^\circ}$C, the product obtained is
A) ${Fe}_{2}O_{3}$melt
B) FeO
C) ${Fe}_{2}O_{3}$
D) Metallic iron
Explanation
(d)
On igniting at 1400${^\circ}$c. ${Fe}_{2}O_{3}$ get reduced to metallic Fe.
$3{Fe}_{2}O_{3}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ {CO}_{2}$
${Fe}_{3}O_{4} + CO \longrightarrow \ 3\ \$
$FeO + CO \longrightarrow \ Fe + O$
