What do you get when you mix aluminum and oxygen and iron?

When you mix aluminum and oxygen, you get aluminum oxide. If you mix iron with aluminum oxide, the aluminum will react with the iron oxide, forming a thermite reaction that produces molten iron and aluminum oxide slag.


When does iron oxide?

when oxygen atoms mix with it and it begins to rust

How do you make iron sulfate hydroxide and oxide?

To make iron sulfate, mix iron oxide with sulfuric acid. For iron hydroxide, mix iron sulfate with a strong base like sodium hydroxide to precipitate out the iron hydroxide. Iron oxide can be made by heating iron metal in the presence of oxygen.


What happens when you mix copper sulphate and iron together?

iron sulphate will be created


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 rust and how does it form?

Rust forms when metals containing iron mix with the oxygen in the air or the water and create a compound named iron oxide. This compoumd has water molecules, so we call it a hydrated compound. Chemically and very simply speaking, iron atoms lose a few electrons to oxygen atoms. This process, where electrons are lost from atoms, is the oxidation process. When oxidation occurs it produces a chemical reaction that creates iron oxide


Is Iron oxide formed from three iron molecules and four oxygen molecules?

Probably you mean Iron and Oxygene atoms? It is a mix of oxides Fe2O3*FeO.


What do you get if mix copper and oxygen?

When copper is mixed with oxygen, copper oxide is formed. The specific compound formed depends on the ratio of copper to oxygen present during the reaction.


What do you get when you mix iron lithium and neon?

Iron, lithium, and neon do not actually mix, nor do they chemically react with each other (although iron and lithium react with other elements such as oxygen). Iron is much denser than lithium, so if you poured these two metals into a container in their molten state, the lithium would just float on top of the iron. And Neon is an inert gas.


How is the iron excacted in old ages?

Iron ore was mixed with limestone and charcoal. The charcoal would be ignited, and air forced through the mix. The charcoal would removed the oxygen from the iron ore, leaving iron.
