The following reaction take place in the blast in the proparation of impure iron identify the reaction pertatining to the formetion of the slag

Options

A. `2C(s) + O_(2)(g) rarr 2CO(g)`
B. `Fe_(2)O_(3)(s) + 3CO(g) rarr 2Fe(i) + 3CO_(2)(g)`
C. `CaCO_(3)(s) rarr CaO(s) + CO_(2)(s)`
D. `CaO(s) + SiO_(2)(s) rarr CuSiO_(3)(s)`

Answer

d

Explanation

The iron ores contain`20% and 65%` of iron , the chief impurities silaca and alumina Both have such high melting points that they would not melt in th eblast furnac but would form an ash which would have to be removed mechenically to overcome this diffetlity become into calcium oxide, which combinas with the silica ab=nd alumina , removing then as a fusible slag .
`CaO+SiO_(2) rarr CaSiO_(3)`
