Which of the following substance is an ore of iron?
Answer Details
The substance that is an ore of iron is Haematite. Haematite (Fe2O3) is a mineral form of iron oxide and is a primary source of iron ore. It is found in abundance throughout the world and is mined to extract iron metal. When iron is needed for manufacturing purposes, haematite is processed into pig iron, which is the basic building block of steel. Bauxite is an ore of aluminium, Cassiterite is an ore of tin, and steel is not an ore but an alloy composed mainly of iron with carbon and other elements.
