because the composition of plastic is such that it is permiable for any diffusion even that water can not flow across the plastic hence iron is much heavy and harder metal so it can diffuse in plastic

What is iron exchange method to clean water?

Iron exchange is a water treatment process that involves removing iron from water by passing it through a special resin that exchanges iron ions for sodium ions. As the water flows through the resin bed, the iron ions are captured by the resin and replaced with sodium ions, effectively removing the iron from the water. This method is commonly used to treat water with high iron concentrations, improving its taste and clarity.


Is iron heavier than plastic?

Yes iron is very much heavier then plastic.


Does an iron atom gain or loose ions when rust forms?

When iron rusts, iron atoms lose electrons and become positively charged ions, specifically Fe^2+ or Fe^3+ ions. This process occurs when iron reacts with oxygen and water to form iron oxide.


Do nail attract through plastic?

Nails, being made of metal, do not attract through plastic. Magnetic attraction occurs with ferromagnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel, but plastic is non-magnetic and will not facilitate this attraction. Therefore, if a nail is placed next to plastic, it will not be drawn to it.


Can iron conduct when dissolved?

Iron itself does not conduct electricity when dissolved, as it typically forms ions in solution. However, when iron is dissolved in an acidic solution, it can produce iron ions (e.g., Fe²⁺ or Fe³⁺) that can conduct electricity due to the movement of these charged particles. The overall conductivity depends on the concentration of the ions and the presence of other ions in the solution.

Is Fe203 ionic or covalent?

Fe2O3, also known as iron(III) oxide, is an ionic compound. It is composed of iron ions (Fe3+) and oxide ions (O2-), which are held together by ionic bonds formed through the transfer of electrons from iron to oxygen.


Fe2O3 is named iron oxide because it contains which type of iron ions?

Fe2O3 is named iron oxide because it contains Fe+ ions.


What metal can remove zinc from a solution?

A metal like iron or magnesium can remove zinc from a solution through a redox reaction where the more reactive metal displaces the less reactive zinc ions. For example, iron can displace zinc from a solution containing zinc ions to form iron ions and solid zinc.


How do you use zoom on your gun?

Look through your iron sights, or plastic sights, or whatever.


What is the individual ions for iron iii and sulfate?

The individual ions for iron (III) are Fe3+ ions. The individual ions for sulfate are SO4^2- ions.


What happens to the iron ions when they react with potassium permanganate?

When iron ions react with potassium permanganate, the iron ions are oxidized, and the potassium permanganate is reduced. The overall reaction results in the formation of iron(III) ions and manganese dioxide.


In the compound iron II carbonate the ratio of iron II ions to carbonate ions will be?

The ratio of iron(II) ions to carbonate ions in iron(II) carbonate (FeCO3) is 1:1. This means that for every iron(II) ion, there is one carbonate ion in the compound.


Do ions have ions?

Ions are atoms that have either gained or lost electrons. Ions are normally formed by chemical processes. For example the rusting of Iron yields various types of Iron Oxides. Iron metal and oxygen gas both become ions. So when an atom becomes an ion through chemistry it always has a counter-ion (one positive and one negative). Some ions can vary in their charge depending on the situation, for example Iron often has a 2+ charge but can also easily have a 3+ charge. However, this is not formally considered "an ion of ion."


What are the individual ions in iron II sulfate?

The individual ions in FeSO4 (Iron II sulfate) are Fe2+ and SO42-.


Is iron heavier than plastic?

Yes iron is very much heavier then plastic.


How many ions are in iron sulfate?

Iron(II) sulfate, FeSO4, contains three ions: one Fe2+ ion and two SO4 2- ions.
