Our Learning Map
State the conditions required for the rusting of iron and steel to form hydrated iron(III) oxide
State some common barrier methods, including painting, greasing and coating with plastic
Describe how barrier methods prevent rusting by excluding oxygen or water
- State the symbol equations for the extraction of iron from hematite
(a) C + O2 → CO2
(b) C + CO2 → 2CO
(c) Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2
(d) CaCO3 → CaO + CO2

  • Sodium
  • Platinum
  • Gold
  • Magnesium
  • Iron
  • Copper
  • Zinc

Slide 8 - Slide

Useful information
  • Metals above carbon = Electrolysis
  • Metals between hydrogen and carbon = Burning with carbon
  • Metals below hydrogen but above silver = Burning directly in the air
  • Metals from silver and below = No extraction needed

Extraction of iron from hematite
  • Coke burns in the hot air, forming carbon dioxide. The reaction is exothermic, giving off heat and heating the furnace.
  •  At the high temperatures in the furnace, more coke reacts with carbon dioxide, forming carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide has been reduced to carbon monoxide.
  •  Carbon monoxide reduces the iron(III) oxide in the iron ore to form iron. This will melt and collect at the bottom of the furnace, where it is tapped off.  
  • Limestone (calcium carbonate) is added to the furnace to remove impurities in the ore. The calcium carbonate in the limestone thermally decomposes to form calcium oxide. 
  • The calcium oxide formed reacts with the silicon dioxide, an impurity in the iron ore, to form calcium silicate. This melts and collects as a molten slag floating on the molten iron tapped off separately.

Lesson Key Points
  • The position of metals in the reactivity series affects the ease of obtaining them from their ores.
  • Metals higher in the reactivity series are more reactive and require more energy to extract.
  • Metals lower in the reactivity series are less reactive and can be obtained using simpler extraction methods.
  • Importance of Coke in providing heat and producing carbon dioxide
  • Conversion of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide
  • Role of carbon monoxide in reducing iron(III) oxide
  • Thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate to produce calcium oxide
  • Significance of slag formation
