Which of the following elements is present as the impurity to the maximum extent in pig iron?

  1. Manganese
  2. Carbon
  3. Silicon
  4. Phosphorus

Answer

(2) Carbon

Solution

As per NCERT, the iron obtained from the blast furnace (pig iron) contains about 4% carbon and many impurities in smaller amounts (e.g. S, P, Si, Mn).

Carbon is the impurity present to the maximum extent.
