Cans for food and drinks are made from steel or aluminium The main metal in steel is iron. Iron is extracted by heating a mixture of iron oxide and carbon in a blast furnace. What type of reaction is this?

The production of iron from ore in a blast furnace clearly falls under the umbrella of :

$Fe_2O_3(s) + 3CO(g) rarr 2Fe(l) + 3CO_2(g)$

The coke (the carbon) is first oxidized to $CO$, and the carbon monoxide reduces the ferric oxide. Can you assign oxidation states to the individual in the given rxn? All you need to know that the oxidation state of oxygen is here $-II$.

Do ionic bonds occur between metal and non-metal ions, non-metal and non-metal ions, or metal and metal ions?

Ionic bonds occur between anions and cations. And cations may be metallic, i.e., $M^(2+)$, or they may be non-metallic, i.e. ammonium salts, $NH_4^+$. And anions, while typically non-metallic, i.e. $X^-$...

What type of reaction is this: Iron (II) oxide (s) + oxygen (g) $->$ Iron (III) oxide (s)?

It is also an oxidation-reduction reaction since the iron is being oxidized by the oxygen.

Iron is extracted from iron ore. Part of the process involves reduction of the ore with carbon monoxide. Iron ore contains iron oxide ($Fe_2O_3$). How would you write a balanced equation for the reaction of iron oxide with carbon monoxide?

And this is the effectual chemical reaction of our civilization. If you ever have a chance to tour a blast furnace (and most are in China and India now) do...

How many moles of aluminium cations are present in $"5.1 g"$ of aluminium oxide?

The idea here is that each formula unit of aluminium oxide, $"Al"_color(red)(2)"O"_color(blue)(3)$, consists of two aluminium cations, $color(red)(2) xx "Al"^(3+)$ three oxygen anions, $color(blue)(3) xx "O"^(2-)$...

Oxide ions are also formed when aluminium oxide is dissolved. What is the formula of an oxide ion?

We would have got the same formalism had we considered the formula of $Al_2O_3$, given that we know that aluminum commonly forms an $Al^(3+)$ cation. Molten alumina is used in...

A mixture of magnesium carbonate and magnesium oxide of mass $12.46*g$ underwent fierce heating. After heating, there were $8.43*g$ of salt remaining. What were the masses of magnesium carbonate, and magnesium oxide in the original sample?

$MgCO_3(s)+DeltararrMgO(s) + CO_2(g)$ And we would have to heat the magnesium salt VERY fiercely to get complete decarboxylation. $"Moles of carbon dioxide LOST"$ $=$ $(4.40*g)/(44.01*g*mol^-1)$ $=0.010*mol$ And therefore in...

Iron (III) oxide reacts with carbon monoxide to form molten iron and carbon dioxide. If .18 g of iron (III) oxide reacts with 0.11 g of carbon monoxide, how many grams of iron would be produced?

$"Moles of ferric oxide "=(0.18*g)/(159.69*g*mol^-1)$ $=$ $1.13xx10^-3*mol" metal oxide"$. $"Moles of carbon monoxide "=(0.11*g)/(28.0*g*mol^-1)$ $=$ $3.93xx10^-3*mol" CO"$. $Fe_2O_3$ is the reagent in deficiency (why?), and thus $2xx1.13xx10^-3*molxx55.85*g*mol^-1~=0.150*g$ iron metal are...

The balanced equation shows the reaction between aluminium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid to form aluminium chloride and water: Al(OH)3 + 3HCl = AlCl3 + 3H2O. 1 mole of aluminium chloride was formed, what mass of aluminium hydroxide was formed?

I'll assume you mean what mass of aluminum hydroxide reacted. We can use the coefficients of the equation to determine the number of moles of $"Al(OH)"_3$ that react, knowing that...

Iron can be extracted from iron(III) oxide by heating it with coke (carbon). The other product in the extraction reaction is carbon dioxide. What mass of iron is produced by reacting 550g of iron(III) oxide with 60g of coke?

Balanced Equation $"2Fe"_2"O"_3 + "3C"$$rarr$$"4Fe + 3CO"_2$ This is a limiting reactant question. The maximum amount of $"Fe"$ that can be produced is determined by the limiting reactant. We have...

Ferric oxide may be reduced to pure iron either with carbon monoxide or with coke (pure carbon). Suppose that 150.0 lb of ferric oxide are available. How many pounds of carbon monoxide would be required to reduce the oxide?

The answer relates to the stoichiometric equation, which tells us that $159.7*g$ $Fe_2O_3$ reacts with $84.0*g$ $CO$ to give $112*g$ $Fe$. You have $150*"lbs"xx454*g*"lb"^-1$ $=$ $68,100*g$ $Fe_2O_3$. Given the equations...
