How does soft iorn is different from hard iron?
That depends on what you mean - soft iron is usually the name given to iron that is easily magnetised and demagnetised. In which case it is usually very pure. Mecahnically soft and hard irons have different crystal structures and trace impurities, although iron is more correctly known as steel when it is anything but 100% pure iron.
Why does pure iron have limited usues?
The reason pure iron has limited uses is because it is a soft metal and not very strong.
Is iron filings an element?
Iron filings may or may not be pure. The ones used in experiments with magnets may not be pure iron. Most iron filings may have a few impurities. But iron (Fe) filings that are reagent grade will be very pure iron metal.
Which is purer wrought or pig iron?
Pig iron is generally an intermediate product of the wrought iron and steel making process. Pig iron is virtually useless due to the very high impurity content. "Pure" is a strange quantification of the comparison between pig iron and wrought iron. Pig iron is pure pig iron and wrought iron is pure wrought iron if there is a "standard" for the respective materials. I'm guessing that the answer you want is that wrought iron is "more pure."
Is iron durable?
pure iron rusts too rapidly and crumbles, however many iron alloys can be very durable. Iron is a pretty cool element, though, still.
Can you change the shape of iron?
Of course, pure iron is malleable, actually rather soft. Some alloys of iron are very brittle and cannot easily be shaped with everyday household tools.
Why pure iron has limited use?
It is a soft metal, so it's not very strong, unless made an alloy.
Why is steel superiour to iron?
Steel is very resistant to corrosion. It is hard and strong. It is resistant to stretching, depending on the type of steel; low-alloy steel and nickel steel. Steel is maleable, but not 'soft' like pure iron, iron is much more useful when in the form of steel. Pure iron is weak, too soft to be used in construction or for any building purposes.
What is the difference between gold ore and iron ore. Why can we see small pieces of yellow metal in gold ore but no iron metal in iron ore?
gold is very resistant to corrosion so a significant fraction of gold ore is pure gold metal. iron corrodes very easily so iron ore is always mostly a mix of iron oxides (i.e. rusts).
Can diamonds rust?
NO!!! Diamonds are an allotrope of carbon, and are very inert . Rust is an oxide of iron.
How can you identify iron?
An iron is usually very hot and has a cable leading to a plug Write your name on the side of it.
What is your pet's name?
I have one Pure bred Akita his name is "Sampson" he is very big and the name just fit him.
