easy
The maximum temperature $1550\,^oC$ is obtained in the ......... region of the blast furnace used in the extraction of iron.
A
reduction
B
fusion
C
combustion
D
slag formation
Solution

$2 \mathrm{C}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{CO}+$ heat
$\mathrm{C}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2}+$ heat
Both combustion reactions are exothermic so temperature in the zone of combustion is maximum.
