Question 1

Question
When air is blown into the blast furnace the coke burns and oxidises. What is this reaction? [blank_start]carbon + oxygen[blank_end] = [blank_start]carbon dioxide[blank_end]
Answer
  • carbon dioxide
  • carbon + oxygen
  • coke + oxygen
  • carbonmonoxide
  • iron
  • iron + carbon dioxide

Question 2

Question
Why is hot air blasted through the furnace?
Answer
  • The air contains oxygen. The oxygen allows the coke (carbon) to burn and form carbon dioxide. This reaction gives out heat, i.e., it is exothermic, so it heats up the furnace.
  • The air contains oxygen. The oxygen allows the iron ore to burn and form carbon dioxide. This reaction gives out heat, i.e., it is exothermic, so it heats up the furnace.
  • The air contains oxygen. The oxygen allows the limestone to burn and form carbon monoxide. This reaction gives out heat, i.e., it is exothermic, so it heats up the furnace.

What is dropped into the furnace?
Answer
  • Limestone
  • iron ore
  • coke

Question 6

Question
What is molten slag (impurities) used for?
Answer
  • slag isn't used for anything and must be disposed of when the reactions are complete

  • tools

Question 7

Question
In which order do the following reactions happen?
Answer
  • IRON FORMS then CARBON MONOXIDE FORMS then CARBON DIOXIDE FORMS

Question 15

Question
Iron ore, limestone and [blank_start]coke[blank_end] are fed into the top of the furnace. Then [blank_start]hot air[blank_end] is blasted through the furnace. [blank_start]Oxygen[blank_end] in the hot air reacts with [blank_start]carbon[blank_end] to form [blank_start]carbon dioxide[blank_end] and then the carbon dioxide reacts with the coke to form [blank_start]carbon monoxide[blank_end]. This gas reacts with [blank_start]iron oxide[blank_end] changing it to [blank_start]iron[blank_end]. In the end the [blank_start]limestone[blank_end] reacts with the [blank_start]impurities[blank_end] to form [blank_start]slag[blank_end] which runs to the bottom of the furnace where it [blank_start]floats on top of[blank_end] the molten iron. During this process the [blank_start]molten iron[blank_end] runs to the bottom of the furnace where it is [blank_start]tapped off[blank_end].
