Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation shows the initial treatment of titanium ore. It involves reacting titanium oxide (TiO2) with chlorine gas (Cl2) and carbon (C) to form titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) and carbon monoxide (CO). This is the most common method of extracting titanium from its ore. The other options either do not involve the initial treatment of titanium ore or are not commonly used methods.
