What are two elements that are solid at room temperature?
Iron and carbon.
What are allotropes Give an example How are allotropes different from isotopes?
Allotropes are the different forms of a compound. For example iron has 3 well known allotropes: alpha iron (α) a.k.a. ferrite, gamma iron (γ) a.k.a. austenite, and delta iron (δ). They form depending on temperature and pressure the iron goes to. Another example is diamond and graphite which are both allotropes of carbon.
What are the two properties of iron oxide that are different from iron?
Density and melting point are different.
What are the two ways in which carbon dioxide is added to the?
Respiration by animals is one of the ways through which carbon dioxide is released to the atmosphere. The other way is through burning fuels that are carbon-based.
Does an atom of carbon have the same mass of oxygen?
Carbon and oxygen or two different elements, with different masses.
What is carbon and iron?
two different elements
What two elements make iron?
Iron is an element in its own right. So there are no two elements that make iron. However, Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Iron and Carbon are tweo different elements. So steel contains two different elements.
What are two processes that form two different oxides?
iron reacting with carbon monoxide
Why can I not get pure iron metal?
SigmaAldrich sells pure iron in many different forms. Given that, the alloy of carbon and iron that we call steel is far more common for two reasons: iron picks up carbon during smelting (the second phase of iron production is to burn off the excess carbon) and steel is a far more useful metal than iron.
What two elements form steel?
Steel contains Iron and Carbon. Various steels contain different compounds of the two plus other material to create different alloys.
Why aren't diamands and graphite considered to be the same mineral?
They are the same element (Carbon) but the atoms in the two are linked in two different ways, giving two very different materials.
What two elements are used to make steel?
The two elements that make up steel are mainly carbon and iron.
What are two ways in which carbon is returned to the atmosphere?
Two ways in which carbon is returned to the atmosphere are:During volcanic eruptionsBy oxidation of organic matter
What are the chemical formulas for iron ores?
There are two equations, the first to describe how the carbon reacts with the oxygen in the air,Carbon + Oxygen ---- Carbon Monoxideor2C + 02 ---- 2COThe second describes how the carbon monoxide reacts with the iron oxide forming carbon dioxide and pure iron,Carbon Monoxide + Iron Oxide ---- Iron + Carbon Dioxideor3 CO + Fe2O3 ---- 2 Fe + 3 CO2Another might beiron oxide + carbon --> carbon dioxide + iron
