Iron is extracted from iron oxide.
Fe2O3+3CO→2Fe+3CO2 \mathrm{Fe_{2}O_{3} + 3CO \rightarrow 2Fe + 3CO_{2}} Fe2O3+3CO→2Fe+3CO2A furnace uses 1.00 tonne of iron oxide and makes 0.560 tonnes of iron.
Relative atomic mass (ArA_rAr): Fe = 55.8
Relative formula mass (MrM_rMr): Fe2O3\mathrm{Fe_{2}O_{3}}Fe2O3 = 159.6
