name a metal that can be extracted from its ore using carbon. answer in words not symbols.

A metal that can be extracted from its ore using carbon is iron. Iron is commonly extracted from its ore, hematite (iron oxide), by heating it with carbon in a blast furnace. The carbon reduces the iron oxide to iron by removing oxygen, forming carbon dioxide in the process. This method of extraction is used for metals that are less reactive than carbon, such as iron, zinc, and copper. Since iron is less reactive than carbon, carbon can displace the oxygen from the iron ore to extract the pure metal.
