Describe the extraction of iron from hematite in the blast furnace, including symbol equations for each step, limited to: (a) the burning of carbon (coke) to provide heat and produce carbon dioxide (b) the reduction of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide (c) the reduction of iron(III) oxide by carbon monoxide (d) the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate/limestone to produce calcium oxide (e) the formation of slag
Calculate percentage yield, percentage composition by mass and percentage purity, given appropriate data
State the conditions required for the rusting of iron and steel to form hydrated iron(III) oxide
