How does carbon monoxide reduce the iron ore, and what is the equation for the reaction?
people say it will break there back because they arent bendable through there backs like mice,ferretts,or hampster
they wouldnt use it, mine loved to run around the yard in an open pen but other than that they are just lazy
Fe2O3 + 3CO - 2Fe + 3CO2 It removes the oxygen and forms carbon dioxide in the process.

3 CO + Fe2O3 → 2 Fe + 3 CO2 The carbon monoxide reduces the iron ore (in the chemical equation above, hematite) to molten iron, becoming carbon dioxide in the process. CO2 is carbon dioxide CO is carbon monoxide Fe2O3 is iron ore and Fe is iron. I'm sure you know the formulas but that's the balanced chemical equation.
Fe2O3 + 3CO - 2Fe + 3CO2 It removes the oxygen and forms carbon dioxide in the process.
