Study Notes

Iron Compounds

  • Iron (II) oxide (FeO) is difficult to oxidize under normal conditions.
  • Iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) can be reduced thermally in the absence of air to form iron (II) oxide and two other oxides
  • Iron (III) oxide is produced from iron (II) oxide by reacting with concentrated sulfuric acid.
  • Iron (III) oxide cannot be further oxidized under normal conditions.

Identifying Iron Oxides

  • To differentiate between iron (II) oxide and iron (III) oxide, a strong alkaline solution can be used.
  • Iron fillings can be used to differentiate between concentrated sulphuric acid and concentrated nitric acid.

Reactions of Iron and Iron Compounds

  • Dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with iron faster than other acids mentioned.
  • When dilute sulphuric acid is added to a mixture of iron (II) oxide and iron (III) oxide, the reaction produces iron (II) sulphate, iron (III) oxide, and water.
  • Concentrated H2SO4 reacts with iron to produce SO2, which is not produced when reacting with mixed oxide.
  • Heating iron in air to redness produces iron (III) oxide.
  • Heating iron (III) hydroxide and reducing the product at temperatures higher than 700°C results in the formation of iron.
  • The solid substance produced by reducing Fe2O3 at 880°C reacts with hot concentrated H2SO4 to produce FeSO4, Fe2(SO4)3, SO2, and water vapor.
  • Iron (II) salts are paramagnetic and their solutions have the same color.
  • The correct order of processes needed to obtain iron (II) sulfide from iron (II) sulfate is thermal decomposition, reduction, and reaction with sulfur.

Iron Oxides X, Y, and Z

  • X is a black oxide that cannot react with dilute acids.
  • Y is a black oxide that can react with both concentrated and dilute acids.
  • Z is a red oxide that cannot be oxidized under normal conditions.
