Answer

(a) Reduction of Iron (II) oxide

FeO+CΔFe+CO\text{FeO} + \text{C} \xrightarrow{\Delta} \text{Fe} + \text{CO}

FeO+COΔFe+CO2\text{FeO} + \text{CO} \xrightarrow{\Delta} \text{Fe} + \text{CO}_2

FeO+H2ΔFe+H2O{\text{FeO}} + \text{H}2 \xrightarrow{\Delta} {\text{Fe}} + \text{H}{2}\text{{O}}

(b) Reduction of Iron (III) oxide

Fe2O3+2Al2Fe+Al2O3+heat\text{Fe}2\text{O}3 + 2\text{Al} \rightarrow \text{2Fe} + \text{Al}2\text{O}3 + \text{heat}

(c) Reduction of Lead (II) oxide

PbO+CΔPb+CO\text{PbO} + \text{C} \xrightarrow{\Delta} \text{Pb} + \text{CO}

PbO+COΔPb+CO2\text{PbO} + \text{CO} \xrightarrow{\Delta} \text{Pb} + \text{CO}_2

PbOyellow+H2ΔPbgreenish white+H2O\underset{\text{yellow}}{\text{PbO}} + \text{H}2 \xrightarrow{\Delta} \underset{\text{greenish white}}{\text{Pb}} + \text{H}{2}\text{{O}}

(d) Reduction of Zinc oxide

ZnO+C1400°CZn+CO\text{ZnO} + \text{C} \xrightarrow{1400\degree \text{C}} \text{Zn} + \text{CO}
