budullewraagh Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 anybody here familiar with ferrates? supposedly barium superoxide and Fe2O3 yield BaFeO4... as well, molten KNO3 and Fe2O3 should yield K2FeO4 but hey, since when could iron chemically oxidize to +6??

budullewraagh Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 well, had you heard previously of this? supposedly it works...the thought of it is astounding, as such would be an amazing oxidizing agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetrahedrite Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Iron can have oxidation states 0, 2+, 3+, 4+, 5+, and 6+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 right, but you almost never see them. according to one of my books, iron can be found as Fe-2 in Fe(CO)4-2, as Fe-1 in Fe2(CO)8 -2 as Fe+ in [Fe(NO)(H2O)5]+2, as Fe+2 in FeO, FeS2, FeF2, etc, as Fe+3 in Fe2O3, Fe3O4, FeF3, FeO(OH), as Fe+4 in some rare complexes and FeO4-2 and as +5 in FeO4-3...doesn't mention +6 must be really rare i guess i have a project for when my KOH(s) comes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
