Heating carbon dioxide (CO2) will cause it to change state, depending on what state it is in. The solid will not melt, however. It will change directly into a gas, which is called sublimation. If we start with the liquid, it will boil when heated, and a gas will result. All these changes are physical changes.

If in air, the carbon will eventually burn. Even diamonds will burn.

You have to try harder with graphite, but it too will burn.

Graphite is one of the softest natural substances, while diamond is one of the hardest. [Depending on where it comes from]

In a vacuum, these allotropes will sublime.
If you heat it enough it will burn, reacting with oxygen and forming carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. (charcoal briquettes)

When carbon is burned with sufficient oxygen, it usually combines with the oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When there is a deficiency of oxygen, carbon monoxide will start to form. That is one reason that burning fuel in an enclosed environment can become so dangerous - as the oxygen is depleted, carbon monoxide becomes a more and more common product of the combustion and carbon monoxide is rather hazardous to most living things that need oxygen for their own survival - like people.

When carbon compounds are heated sufficiently, they will undergo thermal decomposition, or thermolysis. Different substances will have different decomposition temperatures.

When carbon (C) is burn in and abundance of oxygen gas (O2), it forms CO2

However, when C is burnt in insufficient O2, Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Soot/Carbon (C) would be produced...

If it is gaseous form not much, but if in solid form it will probably change to liquid and if in liquid form it will probably change to gas.

What happens to the element in iron ore when the ore is mixed with carbon and heated?

Iron ores most often contain iron combined with oxygen. The carbon comes from a material called coke, which is made from coal. When heated, the carbon reacts with oxygen in the ore, leaving the purified iron metal behind.


What happens when iron is added to oxygen?

Nothing unless they are heated. If they are heated it will become iron oxide. Which is the same material that we find the ground


When iron ore is heated in a blast furnace the products are pure iron and carbon dioxide?

Yes because it becomes iron oxide this is true.


What happens when iron III sulphate is heated?

By heating this compound is thermally dissociated: iron oxide and sulfur dioxide are obtained.


Iron melt at about 1700 degree Celsius. why all carbon in it does not burn out at that temperature?

Carbon can essentially dissolve in molten iron. Carbon only leaves iron if it is exposed to oxygen to make carbon dioxide. This happens in the process of converting iron to steel where the carbon content is controlled to desirable levels.If we heat the carbon in absence of oxygen, it will not be oxidized to carbon bi oxide. When you heat the Iron it melts. Through carbon is ready to get burn, it can not burn in the absence of oxygen and so it remains as carbon only. All around the carbon atoms, there are Iron atoms and as such it can not be converted to carbon bi oxide. It means if heated carbon is surrounded by iron atoms, it will not be oxidized and after cooling, it will remain as carbon only.


Name an element that could be used to remove oxygen from iron oxide?

Carbon iron oxide - oxygen = carbon dioxide


What compounds are iron oxide made from?

carbon dioxide Iron and Oxide form rust


What is the difference between red iron oxide and black iron oxide?

the black iron oxide has reacted with carbon and other impurities


Is rust a carbon?

No. When iron rusts, it becomes iron oxide, or more specifically, iron (II) oxide or iron (III) oxide. Fe + O --> FeO iron oxygen iron (II) oxide


What metal forms a black oxide when heated?

copperCopper (cupric) oxide is produced. Therefore, copper is the metal that produces a black oxide when heated.


What happens to iron oxide when it is dissolved?

Iron oxide (Fe2O3) in insoluble in water.


What substance in the iron extraction process reduces iron oxide to iron?

It is carbon (in the form of coke) that is added to blast furnaces to reduce iron oxide and recover the iron. This is the usual explanation, though most believe that it is the action of carbon monoxide that is involved. The equation for the reaction between iron oxide and carbon that produces iron and carbon monoxide is this one:2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO2
