How does the appearance of hot iron ring differ from that of cold iron ring?

A hot iron ring typically appears brighter and more luminous than a cold iron ring due to incandescence, as it radiates heat and light at higher temperatures. The color of the hot iron can range from bright red to orange or yellow, depending on its temperature, while a cold iron ring has a dull, metallic gray or black appearance. Additionally, the surface of the hot iron may exhibit a glowing effect, whereas the cold iron appears solid and lacks any glow.


When hot iron is exposed in hot water vapour the compound formed is?

When hot iron is exposed to hot water vapor, it reacts to form iron(II) oxide (FeO) and hydrogen gas (H₂). The reaction can be represented as: 3Fe + 4H₂O → 3FeO + 4H₂. This process is part of the reduction of iron oxide and demonstrates the interaction between iron and steam.


Which of the early forms of judicial proceedings involved a determination of guilt based on the ability of the accused to withstand placing his hand in boiling water or holding a hot iron?

The early form of judicial proceedings you are referring to is known as "trial by ordeal." In this practice, the accused would undergo a physical test, such as placing their hand in boiling water or holding a hot iron, to determine their guilt or innocence. The belief was that divine intervention would protect the innocent and harm the guilty. If the accused was unharmed, they were considered innocent; if injured, they were deemed guilty.

Why is hot iron red?

The elements inside the hot iron are energetic and some of that energy is released to its environment. The energy is released as photons at a certain frequency for each temperature of the hot iron. Energy at the frequency you are talking about is interpreted by the mind as the color red. If the hot iron were even hotter it might look like a more pale red. At a higher temperature yet it might look quite white.

What was an ordeal in germanic law?

The "ordeal" in Germanic law was a means of determining guilt. This law was based on divine intervention. All ordeals iinvolved a physical trial of some sort, such as holding a red-hot iron. It was believed that divine forces would not allow an innocent person to be harmed. If the accused person was unharmed after a physical trial, or ordeal, he or she was presumed innocent.

What is ordeal by fire?

Trial by Ordeal was a common method of establishing guilt or innocence in Church court cases under Canon Law and in certain cases under the king's law. The particular Ordeal is not always recorded in the documents relating to trials (only whether the accused failed or passed) so we can not know which particular ordeals were used most frequently. The idea of any Trial by Ordeal was that God should be the judge, jury and witness; the ordeal was intended to allow God to intervene (or not) as He wished, thus indicating guilt or innocence. In one version of ordeal by fire, the accused person was blindfolded in a room with a stone floor. Red-hot scraps of iron (sometimes ploughshares) were then scattered about the floor and the accused had to cross the room without burning his/her feet. If he/she were innocent, God would direct his/her feet safely across - if not, the smell of burning flesh. In another version the accused had to grasp in one hand a piece of iron heated to red-hot. If the burns healed cleanly, the verdict would be "innocent". If there were any infection, then it was "guilty". The odds were always stacked heavily against anyone being declared innocent, whether in ordeal by fire or ordeal by water. The safest course was always to admit guilt from the outset and plead for mercy.

What happens when carbon monoxide is passed over red hot iron at 120c?

When carbon monoxide is passed over red hot iron at 120°C, a reaction occurs to form a compound called iron carbonyl. This process is known as the Mond process and is used for the purification of nickel. Iron carbonyl is a volatile compound that can be easily separated, leaving behind purified nickel.


When iron becomes red-hot when heated is that a chemical or physical property?

No, it is a chemical change Iron turns green means it is oxidized to ferrous (Fe+2) state.
