Iron oxide is a major component of soils and can actually be good for the environment by being a good adsorber of essential metals for plant growth but also toxic metals and arsenic released from mining and industrial processes. However iron oxide suspended in solution can obscure light from aquatic ecosystems, reducing productivity and cause fouling of the gills on fish. Also iron oxides can act as transport agents by adsorbing harmful metals in one place only to release them into another.
Like most things in life not a clear cut thing - it depends on the circumstances!
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the ionic compound FeO?
Iron Oxide Its actually Iron(ii) Oxide there is no such thing as iron oxide.
Chemical Name for FeO?
No such compound exists. If it did it would be iron VI oxide, but iron cannot reach such a high oxidation state. Perhaps you mean Fe2O3, iron III oxide.
What is the word equation for iron oxygen?
iron oxide
What is iron oxide an element mixture solution or compound?
Actually there are several iron oxides, iron(II)oxide, iron(III)oxide and iron(II,III)oxide, and iron(III)oxide comes in four so-called 'phases'.All of these are compounds of iron with oxygen.
What is the main compound in rust?
The scientific name for rust is iron oxide. It is made up of the elements iron and oxygen. Turning iron to iron oxide is an example of corrosion.
Is nitrous oxide bad for the environment?
No it is not bad
Do iron and magnesium oxide react chemically?
Iron and magnesium oxide can react chemically to form iron(II) oxide and magnesium metal. The reaction occurs when iron is heated with magnesium oxide in a high temperature environment, leading to the transfer of oxygen from magnesium oxide to iron.
How does iron oxide harm the environment?
Because the oxide hits the ozone layer and I think that is why
What Is The PH Of Iron Oxide?
The pH of iron oxide can vary depending on the specific type of iron oxide. Generally, iron oxides tend to be insoluble in water and do not significantly affect the pH of a solution. When iron oxides do dissolve, they can slightly lower the pH of the surrounding environment.
What is the name of the ionic compound FeO?
Iron Oxide Its actually Iron(ii) Oxide there is no such thing as iron oxide.
What is the formula for iron (III) oxide?
FeO for ferrous oxide, ( iron(II) oxide); Fe2O3 for ferric oxide, (iron(III) oxide) and Fe3O4 for ferrous ferric oxide, (iron (II,III) oxide)
What is the iron II oxide formula?
FeO for ferrous oxide, ( iron(II) oxide); Fe2O3 for ferric oxide, (iron(III) oxide) and Fe3O4 for ferrous ferric oxide, (iron (II,III) oxide)
Is iron oxide a gas?
No, iron oxide is not a gas. It is a solid compound composed of iron and oxygen atoms.
What elements are in iron oxide?
We know that iron (Fe) and oxygen (O) make up iron oxide. (There is more than one oxide of iron, by the way.)
