YT2095 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 is it Rust in specific that you want, as there`s different forms of Iron Oxide? FeO Fe2O3 (rust) Fe3O4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetrahedrite Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 is it Rust in specific that you want' date=' as there`s different forms of Iron Oxide? FeO Fe2O3 (rust) Fe3O4[/quote'] Just a note, Fe3O4 (magnetite) will not form under atmospheric conditions. It need high temperatures to form eg hydrothermal ore deposits.

Hephaestus Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 What is the go with the oxidation states of Fe in Fe3O4? Is it mixed Fe(II), Fe(III)? Or two Fe(II.5)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 have Fe at +3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primarygun Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Rust is hydrated Iron(III) oxide, i.e. Fe2O3.xH2O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenSon Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Just a note, Fe3O4 (magnetite) will not form under atmospheric conditions. It need high temperatures to form eg hydrothermal ore deposits I thought that it could be created by a flint. ~Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophiolite Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Flints can generate high temperatures, else striking them would not produce sparks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
