Simple - Look at the formulas involved. FeO and Fe2O3 by reducing them in a blast furnace you remove the oxygen so that the become Fe only.
The first FeO is black and is Iron Oxide, the other has two atoms of iron combined with three atoms of Oxygen. Fe2O3 is orange due to the formation of rust, and a common form is Haematite.

What are two properties of iron oxide that are different from iron?
density, conductivity.
Is iron oxide a element compound or a mixture?
Iron oxide is a compound. There are a number of different oxides of iron FeO, Fe2O3 and Fe3O4
What is the name of the ionic compound FeO?
Iron Oxide Its actually Iron(ii) Oxide there is no such thing as iron oxide.
Is rust an element of iron and oxygen called iron oxide?
Rust is not an element but compounds of iron. The brown oxide of iron is ferrous oxide and the black oxide of iron is ferric oxide.
What is the main compound in rust?
The scientific name for rust is iron oxide. It is made up of the elements iron and oxygen. Turning iron to iron oxide is an example of corrosion.
What does iron oxide look like after iron has burned?
Because iron oxide is not iron and the chemical/physical properties of substances are different.
What are the two properties of iron oxide that are different from iron?
Density and melting point are different.

Is iron oxide a gas?
No, iron oxide is a solid.
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 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.)
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)
What is the main compound in rust?
The scientific name for rust is iron oxide. It is made up of the elements iron and oxygen. Turning iron to iron oxide is an example of corrosion.
Iron oxide formula?
Iron II oxide: FeO Iron III oxide: Fe2O3
