Identify the reaction that does not take place in a blast furnace.

  1. A \(\mathrm{CaCO}_{3} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CaO}+\mathrm{CO}_{2}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{CaO}+\mathrm{SiO}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CaSiO}_{3}\)
  3. C \(2 \mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}+3 \mathrm{C} \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{Fe}+3 \mathrm{CO}_{2}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}+\mathrm{C} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{CO}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}+3 \mathrm{C} \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{Fe}+3 \mathrm{CO}_{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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.
