When iron reacts with oxygen is the oxide that is formed an acid or a base And how do we get this element?
Fe2O3 It is neither an acid or a base, and it is a compound, not an element
What is happening when a nail rusts?
the iron combines with oxygen, forming iron III oxide, or Fe2O3
Which elements combines with iron to form rust?
Iron. Rust is called Iron oxide and has the chemical formulae of Fe2O3·nH2O and for iron(III) oxide-hydroxide: FeO(OH)·Fe(OH)3.
When iron reacts with oxygen does it gain or lose electrons?
Iron reacts with oxygen to form Fe2O3 also known as rust. Oxygen requires two electrons to fill it's valence shell so iron loses electrons.
What is the chemical equation when metallic iron reacts with water?
Iron does not react with pure water. Dissolved oxygen reacts with iron. Rust is a complex mixture of iron oxides, and hydroxide and hydrated oxides. See the link for a reasonably detailed explanation.
Iron III oxide is formed when iron combines with oxygen in the air How many grams of Fe2O3 are formed when 16.7 g of Fe reacts completely with oxygen?
23.95g

What is formed when iron combines with oxygen in the air?
Iron reacting with oxygen produces rust, Fe2O3 (Iron (III) oxide) or FeO2 (Iron (II) oxide) depending on the composition of the iron.
Which elements combines with iron to form rust?
Iron. Rust is called Iron oxide and has the chemical formulae of Fe2O3·nH2O and for iron(III) oxide-hydroxide: FeO(OH)·Fe(OH)3.

Balance the equation fes2 o2 --- fe2o3 so2 and name the reaction?
Pyrite (fools gold) reacts with Oxygen to make Hematite (Fe2O3) and Sulpher dioxide (SO2) The reaction is oxidation of pyrite. 2FeS2 + 3.5O2 - - Fe2O3 + 2SO2
When iron reacts with oxygen to form rust each iron does what?
When iron reactions with oxygen to form rust, the iron atoms, Fe reacts with the oxygen atoms, O2 to create iron (III) oxide, Fe2O3.4Fe + 3O2 -----> 2Fe2O3Or2Fe + 3/2O2 -----> Fe2O3
What minerals rust?
When iron combines with oxygen, the product is the reddish- brown rust which has the chemical formula Fe2O3. In its mineral form, Fe2O3 is known as hematite.
What happen when iron is exposed to air?
If an iron nail is exposed to air for a long time it reacts with the water vapour (moisture) and oxygen present in the atmosphere and a reddish-brown powdery coating is formed on it known as RUST (Fe2O3.xH2O) .
What is the difference between FeO and Fe2O3?
FeO is iron II oxide or ferrous oxide. In this compound iron forms a 2+ ion which combines with oxygen(which forms a 2- ion) in a 1:1 ratio Fe2O3 is iron III oxide or ferric oxide. In this compound iron forms a 3+ ion which combine with oxygen (again a 2- ion) in a 2:3 ratio. In Fe2O3 iron is in its highest oxidation state. FeO is black, Fe2O3 is red. Fe2O3 is more common. FeO is a better conductor than Fe2O3.
What elements do Fe2O3 contain?
Fe2O3 contains the elements Iron and Oxygen. It would have 2 Iron and 3 oxygen.
