Iron(III) nitrate is deliquescent, and it is commonly found as the nonahydrate Fe(NO 3) 3 ·9H 2 O, which forms colourless to pale violet crystals. This compound is the trinitrate salt of the aquo complex [Fe(H 2 O) 6] 3+. [4] Other hydrates Fe(NO 3) 3 ·x H 2 O, include:
Iron(II) nitrate can be produced in multiple ways, such as the reaction of iron metal with cold dilute nitric acid: . 3 Fe + 8 HNO 3 + 12 H 2 O → 3 Fe(NO 3) 2 (H 2 O) 6 + 2 NO. If this reaction is conducted below -10 °C, nonahydrate is produced.
Fe 2 O 3 + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO 2. Another redox reaction is the extremely exothermic thermite reaction with aluminium. [17] 2 Al + Fe 2 O 3 → 2 Fe + Al 2 O 3. This process is used to weld thick metals such as rails of train tracks by using a ceramic container to funnel the molten iron in between two sections of rail.
Iron(II,III) oxide, or black iron oxide, is the chemical compound with formula Fe 3 O 4.It occurs in nature as the mineral magnetite.It is one of a number of iron oxides, the others being iron(II) oxide (FeO), which is rare, and iron(III) oxide (Fe 2 O 3) which also occurs naturally as the mineral hematite.
Anode: 4 Fe → 4 Fe 2+ + 8 e −; 4 Fe 2+ → 4 Fe 3+ + 4 e − Overall: 4 Fe + 3 O 2 + 6 H 2 O → 4 Fe 3+ + 12 OH − → 4 Fe(OH) 3 or 4 FeO(OH) + 4 H 2 O The electrolyte is usually iron(II) sulfate in urban areas (formed when atmospheric sulfur dioxide attacks iron), and salt particles in the atmosphere in seaside areas.
2 Fe(NO 3) 3 + 3 K 2 CrO 4 → Fe 2 (CrO 4)3 + 6 KNO 3. It also can be formed by the oxidation by air of iron and chromium oxides in a basic environment: 4 Fe 2 O 3 + 6 Cr 2 O 3 + 9 O 2 → 4 Fe 2 (CrO 4) 3
But in people with dementia—which is an umbrella term for mental decline and can be related to a number of diseases such as Alzheimer's—there’s a phenomenon known as “sundowning ...
In the NO − 3 anion, the oxidation state of the central nitrogen atom is V (+5). This corresponds to the highest possible oxidation number of nitrogen. Nitrate is a potentially powerful oxidizer as evidenced by its explosive behaviour at high temperature when it is detonated in ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3), or black powder, ignited by the shock wave of a primary explosive.
