   Carbon monoxide reacts with the iron (lll) oxide.
   Would it be like this...
   
   3Fe2 O3 + CO= 2Fe3 O4 + CO2

   Not quite. Would it help if I said this reaction is carried out is a blast furnace to produce iron?

   No, but your getting warmer. I start by writing the reantant side for you;
   
   [tex]Fe_{2}O_{3} _{s} + 3CO_{g} \rightarrow[/tex]
   
   and in words;
   
   Iron(III) Oxide + Carbon Monoxide [itex]\rightarrow[/itex]

   so
   
   Fe2O3 + 3CO = 2Fe + 3CO2
   
   Is this right?
