It is known as Iron(II,III) Oxide or Ferrous-Ferric Oxide, but its IUPAC name is
Iron(II) Di-iron(III) Oxide. It has the formula FeO.Fe2O3 but it is generally known as Fe3O4. It is formed by chemical combination of Iron(II) Oxide with Iron(III) Oxide. It has a special property different from the other 2 oxides, as it is exhibits Magnetism. It exists naturally in the Earth in form of Magnetite (or Lodestone) mineral. Some similar Compounds are Mn3O4, Pb3O4 etc.
When iron is molten it reacts with water (vapor) to form [Fe3O4]
3 Fe + 4 H2O ----> Fe3O4 +4 H2
It can also be prepared by reduction of Iron(III) Oxide using Hydrogen(H2) or Carbon Monoxide(CO)
3 Fe2O3 + H2 ----> 2 Fe3O4 + H2O
or
3 Fe2O3 + CO ---->2 Fe3O4 + CO2
Ferric oxide Fe2O3 is a red substance. It occurs in different crystalline forms the most common is haematite. As a fine powder it is used for polishing (it is called jewellers rouge). It is also used as pigment and finds its way into cosmetics. It is magnetic and has been used on magnetic tapes and hard disks.
It is used as a catalyst in the Haber Process and the Water gas shift reaction, and as a Black colour pigment.
It is the compound Tri-Iron Tetroxide or also Iron(II,III) oxide. It is found in the mineral form of Magnetite
It is Iron(II,III) oxide, which is found in nature in the mineral form of Magnetite

Fe3O4
FeO, Fe3O4, and Fe2O3
Iron and oxygen react together and form three different compounds. These are FeO, Fe2O3,Fe3O4 .
There are a number of chemical compounds conmade up from iron and oxygenIron(III) oxide, ferric oxide, is Fe2O3Iron(II)oxide, ferrous oxide, FeOiron(II,III) oxide, ferrous ferric oxide, Fe3O4
chemical formula
The chemical formula of Taconite is Fe3O4.
If you think to magnetite and to a chemical formula (not equation) this formula is Fe3O4.
If you think to magnetite and to a chemical formula (not equation) this formula is Fe3O4.
Fe3O4 (The numbers are subscripts, meaning they are smaller, and go beside the element.)
The chemical formula of magnetite is Fe3O4 (contain iron and oxygen).
The subscript is mentioned only in a chemical formula.3 FeCl3 in a chemical reaction is not similar to Fe3O4 in a chemical formula.
The chemical formula of magnetite is Fe3O4.Iron: 74,41 %Oxygen: 27,59 %
This song is made of magnetite iron ore with chemical formula Fe3O4 .
Magnetite is Fe3O4.
Probably the most common ore of iron is hematite, which is predominantly Fe2O3. Other iron minerals are magnetite, which predominantly has the chemical formula Fe3O4 (sometimes written as FeO.Fe2O3), and pyrite, which predominantly has the chemical formula FeS2.
