Yes, all metals (and all substances) have a vapor pressure. Some materials have a very low vapor pressure so that they much be heated to very high temperatures to create much vapor, others have a high vapor pressure so they do not have to be heated very much to create vapor. As far as metals go, some metallurgical processes rely on the vaporization to purify metals (distillation). This is one process used to produce high purity Zn, Cd, As, Hg, and other metals. Welders have to be careful welding certain metals (galvanized steel is one) because breathing some metal vapors makes you sick. Vaporization is also used to produce thin coatings of metals, for example, Au plating. Usually these metal vaporization processes are conducted in a vacuum chamber.

What is the smallest particle of the element iron that can still be classified as iron?

An iron atom is the smallest iron particle that still has the properties of iron.


What is the relation between metallic iron and total iron in sponge iron?

Metallic iron refers specifically to the iron that is in its metallic form in sponge iron. Total iron in sponge iron includes metallic iron as well as any iron present in other forms such as iron oxides. Therefore, metallic iron is a subset of total iron in sponge iron.


What happens to iron when iron oxide becomes elemental iron?

When iron oxide is reduced to elemental iron, iron atoms gain electrons to form metallic iron. This process involves the removal of oxygen atoms from the iron oxide, resulting in the formation of pure iron without any oxygen content. The reduction reaction converts iron from a compound state (iron oxide) to its elemental form (pure iron).


What is an example of a solution iron rust and iron ore am iron alloy iron metal?

An example of a solution involving iron rust (iron oxide) is when iron reacts with oxygen and moisture in the air, forming rust, which is a hydrated form of iron(III) oxide. Iron ore, such as hematite or magnetite, is a natural mineral from which iron can be extracted. An iron alloy example is steel, which is made by combining iron with carbon and other elements to enhance its strength and durability. Finally, iron metal is the pure form of iron obtained through smelting iron ore in a blast furnace.


How do you calculate total iron) in sponge iron if metallic iron is known?

To calculate total iron in sponge iron when the metallic iron content is known, you can use the formula: Total Iron = Metallic Iron × (1 + Iron Oxide Ratio). The iron oxide ratio reflects the proportion of iron present in the form of oxides, which can vary based on the production process. For example, if you have 90% metallic iron and an oxide ratio of 0.1, the total iron would be calculated as 90% × (1 + 0.1) = 99%.

How much energy per kg would it take to vapourise iron in Earth's core?

At standard pressure and temperature it takes about 6 Mj to vaporize one kg of iron. The high pressure at the core of the earth makes the central part solid and would probably increas the energy needed for vaporization.

How is gas invented?

If you mean, 'how do you make a gas?' It depends on what you are trying to make into gas, but to turn water into gas you have to heat it to 100degrese, then it starts to vapourise (steam) and then its a gas! Certain liquids have to be heated to certain degrese to make them vapourise.
