-homicidal carbon dioxide.-

An actual question and (my) answer to my chemistry test today:

---

Describe the extraction process to obtain iron, giving chemical equations when necessary.

Iron is put into the furnace at very high heat. Something then happens to the gas in it and the gas is made homicidal, where it will break down the unwanted substance in the iron ore and leave pure iron untouched, due to its allergy to pure iron. Pure iron will cause the spontaneous combustion of homicidal gases. When the heat of the furnace rises even more, however, this homicidal gas is killed and iron can then be obtained from the furnace. This homicidal gas is actually carbon dioxide, which is liberated when iron is first enters the furnace. Somewhere along these lines there's even a slag.

I fully deserve every single one of those six marks.

I mean, seriously. I have no idea how iron is extracted, except that carbon dioxide and slags (whatever they are) are somehow involved. I therefore came up with the wonderful idea of coming up with my own version of how irons are extracted. And you gotta admit, it didn't come out so bad, did it?
