Solution
The correct options are BCaCO3(s) ⇋CaO(s) + CO2(g) DCO2(g) + C(s) ⇋2CO(g) In blast furnace, following two endothermic reactions occur. (1) Reaction between carbon dioxide and carbon to form carbon monoxide.
CO2(g)+C(s)⇋3CO(g)
(2) Decomposition of calcium carbonate to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.
