Agreed with anonymous.

However, do NOT confuse with Iron(III)oxide; archaically, ferric oxide.

Iron is if two different oxidation states indicated by the Roman Numerals (II) & (III).

Iron(III)oxide is also known as ferric oxide,, and is the mineral, ironore, used in Blast furnaces to make iron metal.

There is also Fe3O4 (Iron(VI)oxide, known as magnetite. This is the 'lodestone' used by ancient navigators to find 'north'. As a length of it always hung in the North/South direction.

What is the word equation for the reaction between iron oxide and carbon monoxide?

The word equation for the reaction between iron oxide (Fe2O3) and carbon monoxide (CO) is: iron oxide + carbon monoxide → iron + carbon dioxide. In this reaction, iron oxide is reduced to iron, while carbon monoxide is oxidized to carbon dioxide. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2.


What does alluminium rusting look like?

Aluminium rusting???? Aluminium metal does NOT rust. 'Rust only applies to Iron. However, aluminium metal when exposed to oxygen (air), immediately reacts to form alumiunium oxide , which is a white 'powder'. If you have aluminium pots and pans at home, then the surface that you see/touch is a very fine layer of the impervious aluminium oxide. NB Many metals react with oxygen to form the oxide, but only Iron forms the oxide known as 'rust'. Aluminium oxide, is commerically known as 'bauxite'. Copper oxide is a Black surface on copper metal.

Are ores off minecraft real?

Many metals come in the form of ores, which are either a compound, or nuggets of pure metal embedded in rock. Iron Ore is real, and commonly known as haematite, Iron Oxide in rock. Gold Ore is real, the gold is usually pure as it reacts only under extreme circumstances, but it can sometimes be alloyed with other metals such as silver. Diamond Ore and Emerald Ore aren't technically accurate name, pure diamonds and emeralds are just found in rocks, the game calls blocks of this 'ores'.


Is adrenaline molecular or ionic?

Epinephrine C9H13NO3 (the officialname) is an organic compound and like all organic compounds is a primarily covalent (molecular) compound.The real giveaway is that ionic compounds (a metal cation with polyatomic anions) have high melting points and do not burn or char.


What are the chemical reactions with real gold and fool's gold?

Real gold (Au) does not react with most chemicals due to its inert nature. Fool's gold (iron pyrite, FeS2) can react with oxygen and water to form iron oxide and sulfuric acid. In acidic environments, fool's gold can react with hydrochloric acid to release sulfur dioxide gas.
