If it is pure iron then by definition there is no carbon or anything else present in it, just iron.

What are the properties of iron and carbon?
oxygen is a pure gas. it is colourless and odorless.
What is the composition of soft iron gasket material?
The soft iron gasket is pure iron with a carbon content of less tha 0.1 % . The hardness is Br<= 120
Which of these is not an ore copper carbon silver iron?
copper, silver and carbon are not real ores but could be found as pure elements: carbon as coal, or diamond. Silver as nuggets. Copper as native copper specimen. Iron is almost never found in the free elemental state, and should be extracted from iron ore, which is not iron, but mainly made of iron oxides.
Is diamond C an element or compound or homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous mixture?
Pure substance; it is one form of pure carbon.
Why is pure iron not useful?
Hot air is blasted into the furnace causing coke (carbon) to burn rapidly and raise the temperature to 2000 °C.carbon + oxygen carbon dioxide + heat. C(s) + O2(g) CO2(g)The carbon dioxide then reacts with hot carbon to form carbon monoxide.carbon dioxide + carbon carbon monoxide. CO2(g) + C(s) 2CO(g)Carbon monoxide then reduces iron in the ore to iron metal.carbon monoxide + iron(III) oxide carbon dioxide + iron. 3CO(g) + Fe2O3(s) 3CO2(g) + 2Fe(l)The temperature where the reduction takes place is above 1500 °C. Iron falls to the bottom of the furnace where the temperature is 2000 °C.Iron is liquid at this temperature and is tapped off periodically
Does iron have much carbon in it?
iron has no carbon in it if it is pure iron
What is a carbon like substance that comes from coal which was used to make iron pure and much stronger?
Coke, a carbon rich of coal.
What is the difference between mild iron and mild steel?
Iron is the pure element, mild steel, or any steel is iron with a little bit of carbon added. The iron becomes mild steel, steel or any other type of steel depending on how much carbon is added to the iron.
How do you get pure iron and what is it used for?
we get it from reacting it in a blast furnace firstly we react oxygen and carbon coke to form carbon dioxide which then reacts further with the coke to form carbon monoxide which then reacts with oxygen from the iron oxide to form carbon dioxide and pure molten Iron. And we use it occasionaly in medicine as iron supplements or in anylytical chemistry.
Is steel pure metal?
No, it is an iron-basd compound, usually of carbon.
What are the properties of iron and carbon?
oxygen is a pure gas. it is colourless and odorless.
Why is steel rather than pure iron used to make car bodies?
It is because the iron is not strong enough to be able to handle the pressures that steel can. Pure iron is to soft and weak to be of any use and the iron from the blast furnace has too much carbon in it to be useful. That is the real reason
Why isn't steel an element?
The main element from which steel is made is Iron (Fe) but steel is not pure - (not just iron) it is an alloy of iron and other elements, primarily carbon. Element MUST be pure substances and if steel were pure it would be Iron.
When iron ore is heated in a blast furnace the product are pure iron and carbon dioxide?
I think it istrue
Why can I not get pure iron metal?
SigmaAldrich sells pure iron in many different forms. Given that, the alloy of carbon and iron that we call steel is far more common for two reasons: iron picks up carbon during smelting (the second phase of iron production is to burn off the excess carbon) and steel is a far more useful metal than iron.
How is oxygen removed from iron ore?
Iron ore is mixed with coke (almost pure carbon from coal) and roasted at high temperatures. The carbon reacts with the oxygen to produce carbon dioxide leaving the elemental iron.
Why is an iron alloy such as steel preferred over pure iron?
with the addition of carbon to iron the bonds created are stronger and often more flexible that just pure iron. the same goes for many other alloys.
