Is Bauxite a iron ore?
No, Bauxite is not a type of iron ore. it is an ore of aluminum.
What happens to the element in iron ore when the ore is mixed with carbon and heated?
Iron ores most often contain iron combined with oxygen. The carbon comes from a material called coke, which is made from coal. When heated, the carbon reacts with oxygen in the ore, leaving the purified iron metal behind.
What group does hematite belong to?
Magnetite belongs to the spinel group of minerals
When oxygen is blown into pure iron to remove impurities Wont it react with Iron itself to give iron oxide?
Oxygen is not blown into pure iron, it is blown into molten iron ore (many impurities) and coke has been added to the mix as well. the coke reacts with the impurities and the oxygen to purify the iron ore.
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)
What is the ore of iron oxide?
Examples of iron minerals: magnetite, hematite, goethite, siderite, limonite etc.
What is the word equation for the extraction of iron from the ore iron oxide?
oxidition
Is iron and iron ore the same?
no they are not the same because iron is a metal that is obtained from its ore called iron ore
How is a metal made?
Metals are extracted from their ore through chemical reaction. Iron ore is an oxide of iron. The oxygen is removed from the ore by heating carbon with the ore to create molten iron and Carbon Dioxide.
Hematite is a variety of iron ore. What is the other element joined with iron in the ore?
It is oxygen that is chemically combined with the iron to form iron(III) oxide. That iron oxide, which is Fe2O3, is what is in hematite, and that's what we want to recover and process. A link can be found below.
Which is the richest iron ore?
Magnetite - It is an Oxide of Iron and yields 72 percent metal.
What are the main metal compounds in iron ore aluminum ore and copper ore?
Iron ore, which is known as (haematite) it is made up of Iron(III) oxide, Fe2O3 and sand, it is mainly made up of iron(III) oxide, Fe2O3.An Aluminum ore, one of which is know as (Bauxite) is mad up of gibbsite Al(OH)3, boehmite y-AlOH(OH), and diaspore α-AlO(OH), it is mainly made up of gibbsite Al(OH)3. The gibbsite is normally converted into aluminum oxide, Al2O3, the aluminum oxide is obtained by heating the gibbsite.A Copper ore, one of which is known as (Cuprite) is made up of mainly copper(I) oxide Cu2O.I hope this answered your question. and here are quick built points with just the metal ore and their main metal compounds.The ore - the main metal compoundIron ore - iron(III) oxide, Fe2O3Aluminum ore - aluminum oxide, Al2O3Copper ore - copper(I) oxide Cu2Osigned Josef, hope it helped
Is compound solid?
A solid may be an element (iron), a compound (iron oxide), a mixture (iron ore).
What is ironore?
Iron ore is the IMPURE mineral rock that contains Haematite (Iron (III) Oxide).
Does iron weigh the same as iron oxide?
The right question should be: Does one mole of iron weigh the same as one mole of iron oxide? The answer is NO, Iron Oxide weighs more.
Iron ore is made of what mineral?
Iron ore is typically an oxide of iron. Haematite is very commonly mined this is a mineral form of Fe2O3. Magnetite has been mined , this is a form of Fe3O4.
Are iron and iron ore the same thing?
No; iron ore is mixed with copper and smelted; the ore needs to be refined to extract pure iron. You cannot make a tool out of ore, but rather with pure iron.
