What happens to iron(III) oxide when it reacts with carbon monoxide in a blast furnace?
Both compounds dissociate into their constituent elements without electron transfer.
The iron(III) oxide is reduced to iron metal, and carbon monoxide is oxidized to carbon dioxide.
Iron(III) oxide is oxidized further as carbon monoxide reduces into elemental carbon.
The iron(III) oxide remains unchanged while carbon monoxide polymerizes into larger molecules.
