by heating it with a more reactive element; e.g. zinc.
It is carbon (in the form of coke) that is added to blast furnaces to reduce iron oxide and recover the iron. This is the usual explanation, though most believe that it is the action of carbon monoxide that is involved. The equation for the reaction between iron oxide and carbon that produces iron and carbon monoxide is this one:2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO2
Iron Oxide Its actually Iron(ii) Oxide there is no such thing as iron oxide.
No such compound exists. If it did it would be iron VI oxide, but iron cannot reach such a high oxidation state. Perhaps you mean Fe2O3, iron III oxide.
iron oxide
Actually there are several iron oxides, iron(II)oxide, iron(III)oxide and iron(II,III)oxide, and iron(III)oxide comes in four so-called 'phases'.All of these are compounds of iron with oxygen.
Yes, hydrogen gas can be used as a reducing agent to convert iron oxide (Fe2O3) into elemental iron. This process involves heating the iron oxide with hydrogen gas, which reacts with the oxygen in the iron oxide to produce water vapor and elemental iron.
When iron oxide is reduced, the iron atoms gain electrons to form elemental iron. This process usually involves the removal of oxygen from the iron oxide through a chemical reaction, often using a reducing agent such as carbon monoxide or hydrogen. The reduction of iron oxide is an important step in the production of iron and steel.

FeO for ferrous oxide, ( iron(II) oxide); Fe2O3 for ferric oxide, (iron(III) oxide) and Fe3O4 for ferrous ferric oxide, (iron (II,III) oxide)
FeO for ferrous oxide, ( iron(II) oxide); Fe2O3 for ferric oxide, (iron(III) oxide) and Fe3O4 for ferrous ferric oxide, (iron (II,III) oxide)
No, iron oxide is not a gas. It is a solid compound composed of iron and oxygen atoms.
We know that iron (Fe) and oxygen (O) make up iron oxide. (There is more than one oxide of iron, by the way.)
No such compound exists. If it did it would be iron VI oxide, but iron cannot reach such a high oxidation state. Perhaps you mean Fe2O3, iron III oxide.

The percentage of iron oxide in iron oxide is ... yep, you guessed ... 100%!
