Q78 / 200 · NEET 2021 · Chemistry

The maximum temperature that can be achieved in blast furnace is:

A
upto $1200 K$
Correct answer
B
upto $2200 K$
C
upto $1900 K$
D
upto $5000 K$

Solution

Hot air is blown from the bottom of the furnace and coke is burnt to give temperature up to about 2200K in the lower portion itself. It is the highest temperature in the blast furnace.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
