NO, iron is not soluble in water. When iron and water are added together the result is rust.
No, the metal iron does not dissolve in water. However, the metal will react with water, usually slowly at standard temperature and pressure, to release hydrogen gas.

Will iron filing dissolve on water?
Iron is not soluble in water.
Will iron powder dissolve in water?
Iron powder is not soluble in water.
How much iron is in water?
Pure (or distilled) water does not contain iron. If the water has travelled through an iron pipe, it will dissolve some iron. Well water or water from many other sources contains some iron because the soil contains some iron compounds, which can dissolve. Sea water contains iron. But the actual amount varies quite a bit.
What method would be used to separate iron fillings from sugar?
A magnet will cause the iron to adhere and separate. Or adding water will dissolve the sugar and the iron can be filtered out and then the water evaporated from the sugar.
How will you separate a mixture of aluminium and iron filings and sugar?
To retrieve the iron just use a magnet. To retrieve the sulphur just put the remaining mixture in water and dissolve it. Then using a filter paper filter the solution, the sulphur which is not soluble will remain on the filter paper and to retreive the sugar from the solution just re-crystallize it.

Do iron oxide dissolve in water?
No- if it did, water would wash away rust (rust is iron oxide)
Can you separate the salt and iron fillings?
Yes. You can add water to dissolve the salt (the iron will not dissolve). Then pour off the solution, leaving the iron filings behind. If you want to now retrieve the salt, you can just evaporate the water.
How does saltwater make nails rust?
Any water makes iron rust. Rust is iron oxide. It happens when water allows the oxygen to dissolve in it and get to the surface of the metal. Salt water has dissolve salts in it which makes it work faster.
Are iron filings soluble or insoluble?
They will dissolve if you put them in the right acids

How do you separate sand iron and sugar?
Use a magnet to pick up the iron. Then add water. The sugar will dissolve and run out as syrup, and the sand will remain. ----
What rusts in water?
"Rust" is a specific form of corrosion - where iron joins with oxygen. Therefore, the only thing that "rusts" in water is metal containing large amounts of iron, either "iron" or "steel." A lot of things will corrode, dissolve or otherwise deform if you put them in water.
What acid can dissolve iron but not gold platinum and palladium?
HCL or H2SO4 will dissolve iron and not gold, platinum or palladium
