$(a)$ $\mathrm{CaO}+\mathrm{SiO}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{CaSiO}_{3}$

$(b) $ $3 \mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}+\mathrm{CO} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Fe}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{4}+\mathrm{CO}_{2}$

$(c)$ $\mathrm{FeO}+\mathrm{SiO}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{FeSiO}_{3}$

$(d)$ $\mathrm{FeO} \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}$

Solution

In blast furnace (metallugy of iron) involved reactions are

 $\mathrm{CaO}+\mathrm{SiO}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CaSiO}_{3}$

$3 \mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}+\mathrm{CO} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Fe}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{4}+\mathrm{CO}_{2}$
