Chemistry: Blast Furnace Basics

This document is a student's chemistry worksheet on the blast furnace process for extracting iron. It contains questions about labeling a diagram of a blast furnace, writing balanced chemical equations for reactions that occur, and identifying substances essential for rusting iron. The student is asked to identify the key components and processes in the blast furnace, such as the mixture of iron ore, coke and limestone fed into the furnace and the molten iron, slag and gases produced. Balanced equations are also required for reactions of carbon, iron oxide, limestone and calcium oxide that take place.
