The reaction will depend on the operating temperature. at very high temperature iron will form ferric oxide which is a main component in sulfuric acid production. if the temperature is not enough the reaction will not occur since, the enthalphy and entropy will produce a positive value

When iron is burned, it reacts with oxygen to form iron oxide (rust). This process is known as oxidation. The iron will turn red and eventually form a powdery substance as it is consumed by the reaction.

Will oxygen and iron burn?
Oxygen can support combustion, but iron itself does not burn in typical atmospheric conditions. However, iron can oxidize, forming iron oxide (rust), in the presence of oxygen and moisture. This process is a slow form of oxidation rather than rapid combustion.
What is a mark made with a hot iron?
A brand or a burn mark.
What happens when you mix iron filings and lemon juice?
When you mix iron filings with lemon juice, the acid in the lemon juice will react with the iron to produce iron oxides and hydrogen gas. The iron filings will begin to rust as the iron oxides are formed. This reaction is an example of a chemical reaction between an acid and a metal.
When metals burn in oxygen what products are formed?
When metals burn in oxygen, they form metal oxides. For example, when iron burns in oxygen, it forms iron oxide (rust). The specific metal oxide formed depends on the metal and the conditions of the reaction.
At what temperature does iron burn?
Iron does not burn, it only melts (at 1538C, 2800F). Actually,...-------------------------------------------------- http://www.osv.org/explore_learn/village_tour.html?S=L-12Iron smiths (Blacksmiths) modern and ancient are aware that with a source of oxygen, glowing Iron Burns: "With bellows blowing additional air through the fire, it can reach temperatures of about 3,000° Fahrenheit. Iron burns at 2,800°, however, so the smith has to be careful to not ruin his work! … The smith's fire contains too much oxygen to allow iron to melt; as it approaches its melting point the iron burns instead." -------------------------------------------------- http://www.chymist.com/Oxidation - does iron burn.pdf the link provided gives a simple lab experiment developed by David A. Katz that shows that iron does burn... OXIDATION: DOES IRON BURN? ©2007 by David A. Katz. All rights reserved. Permission for educational use as long as original copyright is included. Quote>>> Iron does burn, but not like paper or wood. Generally, iron burns very slowly in a process we call oxidation or rusting. By varying the size of the iron particles from large to powder we can show the effects of particle size and surface area in oxidation. The reaction is: 2 Fe + O2 → 2 FeO Some of the higher oxide, Fe2O3 may be formed in the reaction. Fe3O4, the red rust that is observed on iron surfaces exposed to he weather is a mixture of FeO and Fe2O3.
Can a iron burn?
Yes iron can burn

Why do wood burn faster than iron?
because iron doesn't burn...it melts.
Does an iron burn have to blister to heal?
an iron burn can cause wound which requires air to heal
Can you burn your hair with a flat iron?

Does iron burn in air?

What problem is there with iron?

Does iron burned?
It can, under the right conditions. Small pieces of iron, such as iron filings, will burn.
How do you burn iron?

Why is oxygen blown through the molten iron?
to burn coke that will burn the raw material
What gases causes iron to rust and candles to burn?
oxygen, rust is iron oxide
