Assertion : Extraction of iron metal from iron oxide ore is carried out by heating with coke. Reason : The reaction Fe_(2)O_(3)(s)rarrFe(s)+(3)/(2)O_(2)(g) is a spontaneous process.

Assertion : Extraction of iron metal from iron oxide ore is carried ou

1.	Assertion : Extraction of iron metal from iron oxide ore is carried out by heating with coke. Reason : The reaction Fe_(2)O_(3)(s)rarrFe(s)+(3)/(2)O_(2)(g) is a spontaneous process.
Answer» If both assertion and REASON are true and the reason is not thecorrect EXPLANATION of the assertion. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. If assertion is true but reason is false. It the assertion and reason both are false. Solution :Extraction of iron metal from iron oxide ore is carried out by heating with coke and flux (calcium carbonate). Flux is a slag forming substance. It converts infusible impurities into fusible slag. The REACTION : `Fe_(2)O_(3(s))rarrFe_((s))+3//2O_(2(g))` is not aspontaneous process `Fe_(2)O_(3)` is converted to `FeO` at about `400^(@)C,FeO` is converted to FE at about `800^(@)C -1000^(@)C,`
