Extraction of Metals

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Extraction by electrolysis   potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium  
🗑
Extraction by reducing agent-carbon/carbon monoxide   zinc, iron, lead  
🗑
What’s in the charge?   Iron ore (haematite = iron oxide and sand), limestone (mainly Calcium Carbonate), Coke (almost pure carbon)  
🗑
Stage one: Reactions in the blast furnace   Coke burns, giving off heat, C + O2 = CO2  
🗑
Stage two: Reactions in the blast furnace   Carbon monoxide is made, C + CO2 = 2CO  
🗑
Stage three: Reactions in the blast furnace   Iron oxide is reduced, Fe2O3 + 3CO = 2Fe + 3CO2  
🗑
Limestone is for?   reacting with silica, to remove impurities from the haematite, slag at the top is drained off  
🗑
Waste gases?   CO2 and Nitrogen  
🗑
Extracting Aluminium   bauxite to alumina/white aluminium oxide to electrolysis to usage  
🗑
Electrolysis of Aluminium   Alum. gains electrons at the cathode whilst, at the anode, the oxygen loses electrons  
🗑
