We can use carbon, because carbon wants to be carbon dioxide. Like tin oxide, SnO2. By adding carbon, at high temperatures, the carbon will pull out oxygen to form carbon dioxide, which is stable. The left over result is pure tin, along with other impurities and carbon dioxide gas, which is extracted from the tin.

RafaThe process of removing oxygen from metal oxides is known as reduction. This is typically achieved by introducing a reducing agent, such as carbon or hydrogen, which reacts with the oxygen in the metal oxide to form carbon dioxide or water, leaving behind the pure metal. This reduction process can occur through various methods, such as smelting, electrolysis, or chemical reduction reactions.

Which type of oxide is formed when metals combine with oxygen?
Metal oxides form alkalis when they dissolve in water. Non-metal oxides for acids. For example: carbon dioxide + water --> carbonic acid magnesium oxide + water --> magnesium hydroxide
What element reacts with a metal or a non-metal to form an oxide?
oxides are formed when a element reacts with Oxygen
Which of these is formed by combining oxygen with metals?
Oxides are formed by combining oxygen with metals. Oxides are compounds that contain at least one oxygen atom bound to one or more metal atoms. This process is known as oxidation.
What metal rusts?
Iron is the most common metal that rusts. Rust is a form of iron oxide that forms when iron or its alloys are exposed to oxygen and water.
What are action of water on metals?
Water can react with metals through a process called corrosion, which can lead to the formation of rust or other oxidation products on the metal surface. This reaction can weaken the metal and eventually cause it to degrade or fail. Protective coatings or alloys can be used to prevent or minimize the effects of water on metals.
