What chemical process is used for obtaining a metal from its oxide?
The is used for obtaining a metal from its oxide.
For example,
\(ZnO(s)+C(s)→ Zn(s)+CO(g)\)
In this process, zinc oxide is to metallic zinc by heating with carbon.
Besides carbon, highly reactive metals like , etc., are used as reducing agents. These displace metals of low reactivity from their oxides.
