The formula of the iron oxide is Fe2O3. Calculate the maximum mass of iron that can be obtained from 240 tonnes of iron oxide, Fe2O3. (relative atomic masses: O = 16, Fe = 56) mass of iron = ...................................................... tonnes
Aluminium cannot be extracted by heating its oxide with carbon. Aluminium has to be extracted from its oxide by electrolysis. Explain why.
Predict the method that will have to be used to extract calcium from its ore.
