Q59 / 180 · COMEDK 2017 · Chemistry
Identify the reaction that does not take place in a blast furnace.
- A$\mathrm{CaCO}_{3} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CaO}+\mathrm{CO}_{2}$
- B$\mathrm{CaO}+\mathrm{SiO}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CaSiO}_{3}$
- Correct answerC$2 \mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}+3 \mathrm{C} \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{Fe}+3 \mathrm{CO}_{2}$
- D$\mathrm{CO}_{2}+\mathrm{C} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{CO}$
Solution
The reaction, $2 \mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}+3 \mathrm{C} \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{Fe}+3 \mathrm{CO}_{2}$, do not occur in blast furnance. This reaction occurs at the end of the process.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
