Iron ore is made of what mineral?
Iron ore is typically an oxide of iron. Haematite is very commonly mined this is a mineral form of Fe2O3. Magnetite has been mined , this is a form of Fe3O4.
What is the formula of haematite?
Hematite is an oxide of iron in its "raw" or "natural" form. It's a mineral, and it's iron(III) oxide. Its formula is Fe2O3.Hematite is Fe2O3.
How does iron react with steam when heated?
Fe is the chemical symbol for iron. When iron reacts with steam it corrodes, or rusts.
What is rust composed of?
Rust (in its "regular" red form) is an iron oxide called iron(III) oxide. It's formula is Fe2O3, and we call it ferric oxide or hematite. And that's different from iron (II) oxide FeO, or iron (II,III) oxide Fe3O4. There are three basic forms of oxidized iron, and there they are. Wikipedia has more information, and a link to their post is provided below. Rust is basically ferric oxide caused by the action of air, or to be more precise, the action of oxygen and water droplets on iron.
What is the biggest impurity in the extraction of iron?
The problems that iron impurities can cause in a blast furnace can include the iron not melting down correctly, obnoxious fumes being created, and the impurities could ruin an entire batch of melted iron.
Is Fe3O4 a compound or element?
Fe3O4 is a compound. It is known as iron(II,III) oxide, where iron atoms are present in a combination of +2 and +3 oxidation states with oxygen.
Is iron oxide a element compound or a mixture?
Iron oxide is a compound. There are a number of different oxides of iron FeO, Fe2O3 and Fe3O4
Is iron oxide a non stoichiometric compound?
Yes, iron oxide can exist as a non-stoichiometric compound. This means that the ratio of iron to oxygen atoms in the compound is not a whole number and can vary. Examples include magnetite (Fe3O4) and wüstite (FeO).
What is the chemical compound for magnetite?
Magnetite is Fe3O4.
Is iron a compound or an element?
"An iron" is a tool for removing the wrinkles from clothes. "Iron" is an element as it is found in the Periodic Table.
Can the oxidation number of an element in a compound be a fraction?
No. it can't be fractional. However you can get fractional answers uch as Fe in Fe3O4 where the average oxidation state is 2.666.... You need to know something about the structure that will tell you what oxidation numbers of the Fe in this case two Fe with +3 and one Fe with +2 in each formula unit.
Is iron oxide a element or compound?
Iron oxide is a compound, but I would add that a chemist would refer to it as either ferrous oxide or ferric oxide, depending upon the proportion of iron to oxygen.
Is magnetite metalic?
No. Magnetite is the compound iron II, III oxide, Fe3O4
What is the oxidation number of iron in Fe304?
The oxidation number of iron in Fe3O4 is +2. This is because oxygen is assigned an oxidation number of -2 and the overall charge of the compound is neutral. So, iron must have an oxidation number of +2 to balance out the charges.
How do you balance Fe H2O---Fe3O4 H2?
To balance the equation Fe + H2O → Fe3O4 + H2, you need to ensure the number of atoms of each element are equal on both sides. Start by balancing the iron atoms, then balance the oxygen atoms, and finally balance the hydrogen atoms. The balanced equation is 3Fe + 4H2O → Fe3O4 + 4H2.
Calculate the oxidation number of Fe in Fe3O4?
In Fe3O4, the oxidation number of Fe is +8/3. This can be found by setting up an equation where the total sum of the oxidation numbers in the compound equals the overall charge. In this case, Fe3O4 has a neutral charge, so the total sum of oxidation numbers is zero.
What is the valency iron in Fe3o4?
Itron has both 2 and 3 valencies int his compound
