The iron cannot be mechanically separated from it's oxide. The compounds [Fe2O3·nH2O, FeO(OH), Fe(OH)3] called "rust" are difficult to separate chemically into iron water and oxygen.

How to reduce iron oxide?

Iron oxide can be reduced by using a reducing agent such as carbon monoxide or hydrogen gas in a controlled environment with limited oxygen. This process strips oxygen atoms from the iron oxide, producing elemental iron. The reduced iron can then be separated from the remaining products through various techniques.


What is the name of the ionic compound FeO?

Iron Oxide Its actually Iron(ii) Oxide there is no such thing as iron oxide.


What is the formula for iron (III) oxide?

FeO for ferrous oxide, ( iron(II) oxide); Fe2O3 for ferric oxide, (iron(III) oxide) and Fe3O4 for ferrous ferric oxide, (iron (II,III) oxide)


Can you use a magnet to separate iron oxide into iron and oxygen?

No, because Iron oxide is not a mixture of Iron and Oxygen. It is a compound in which iron and Oxygen have been chemically combined to create a new substance, which has different chemical and physical properties form either of the two elements which it is made from.


What is the iron II oxide formula?

FeO for ferrous oxide, ( iron(II) oxide); Fe2O3 for ferric oxide, (iron(III) oxide) and Fe3O4 for ferrous ferric oxide, (iron (II,III) oxide)


Is iron oxide a gas?

No, iron oxide is not a gas. It is a solid compound composed of iron and oxygen atoms.


What elements are in iron oxide?

We know that iron (Fe) and oxygen (O) make up iron oxide. (There is more than one oxide of iron, by the way.)


Chemical Name for FeO?

No such compound exists. If it did it would be iron VI oxide, but iron cannot reach such a high oxidation state. Perhaps you mean Fe2O3, iron III oxide.


What is the word equation for iron oxygen?

iron oxide


What is iron oxide an element mixture solution or compound?

Actually there are several iron oxides, iron(II)oxide, iron(III)oxide and iron(II,III)oxide, and iron(III)oxide comes in four so-called 'phases'.All of these are compounds of iron with oxygen.


How do you calculate percentage in iron oxide?

Is rust a carbon?

No. When iron rusts, it becomes iron oxide, or more specifically, iron (II) oxide or iron (III) oxide. Fe + O --> FeO iron oxygen iron (II) oxide
