Question

(2) What is iron compound formed when iron reacts
with water called?
please ans in short ​

Answer 1

Answer:

iron hydroxide will be formed

Answer 2

Explanation:

When water is in the form of steam. Iron is very inactive with water but at the high temperature it gets reacted with hot steam.Steam produces more severe burns as compare to boiling water and temperature of the liquid doesn't change when it boils.When glowing hot iron in placed in very hot water it releases hydrogen gad and forms Ferric oxide.

3Fe + 4H2O gives rise to Fe3O4 + 4H2Explanation:

Usually, Iron cannot react with the water which will be in the liquid state.

But when the water which is either heated or which is available in the gaseous form will get reacted very easily by the Iron metal.

This results in the formation of the Iron Oxide which is also known as Ferric Oxide having the chemical formula of Fe3O4 and it released Hydrogen gas into the atmosphere.

This is the general process of the corrosion of metals due to the presence of the oxygen and the moisture in air.
