Chemical properties

FeO - Fe(II) oxide.

Refractory black pyrophoric powder, insoluble in water.

In terms of chemical properties, FeO is a basic oxide. Reacts with acids to form salts:

FeO + 2HCl = FeCl 2 + H 2 O

4FeO + O 2 = 2Fe 2 O 3

3FeO + 10HNO 3 = 3Fe(NO 3) 3 + NO + 5H 2 O

Fe(OH) 2 – Fe(II) hydroxide– a white solid, insoluble in water.

In terms of chemical properties, it is a weak base, easily reacts with acids and does not react with alkalis. Fe(OH) 2 is an unstable substance: when heated without access to air, it decomposes, and in air it spontaneously oxidizes:

Fe(OH) 2 = FeO + H 2 O (t)

4Fe(OH) 2 + O 2 + 2H 2 O = 4Fe(OH) 3

pale green brown

The most practically important are: FeSO 4, FeCl 2, Fe(NO 3) 3, FeS, FeS 2.

The formation of complex and double salts with alkali metal and ammonium salts is characteristic:

Fe(CN) 2 + 4KCN = K 4 (yellow blood salt)

FeCl 2 + 2KCl = K 2

The hydrated Fe 2+ ion is pale green in color.

1. Soluble Fe 2+ salts in aqueous solutions undergo hydrolysis with the formation of an acidic environment:

Fe 2+ + H 2 O ↔ FeOH + + H +

2. Exhibit general properties of typical salts (ion-exchange interactions):

FeS + 2HCl = FeCl 2 + H 2 S

FeCl 2 + 2NaOH = Fe(OH) 2 ↓ + 2NaCl

FeSO 4 + BaCl 2 = FeCl 2 + BaSO 4 ↓

3. Easily oxidized by strong oxidizing agents

Fe(III) compounds

Fe 2 O 3 - iron (III) oxide

Red-brown powder, insoluble in water. In nature - “red iron ore”.

Fe 2 O 3 is a basic oxide with signs of amphotericity.

1. The main properties are manifested in the ability to react with acids:

Fe 2 O 3 + 6HCl = 2FeCl 3 + 3H 2 O

Fe 2 O 3 + 6HNO 3 = 2Fe(NO 3) 3 + 3H 2 O

2. Fe 2 O 3 does not dissolve in aqueous solutions of alkalis, but when fused with solid oxides, alkalis and carbonates, ferrites form:

Fe 2 O 3 + CaO = Ca(FeO 2) 2 (t)

Fe 2 O 3 + 2NaOH = 2NaFeO 2 + H 2 O (t)

Fe 2 O 3 + MgCO 3 = Mg(FeO 2) 2 + CO 2 (t)

3. Fe 2 O 3 – feedstock for the production of iron in metallurgy:



Fe 2 O 3 + 3C = 2Fe + 3CO or Fe 2 O 3 + 3CO = 2Fe + 3CO 2

Fe(OH) 3 – iron (III) hydroxide

Fe(OH) 3 is a very weak base (much weaker than Fe(OH) 2). Fe(OH) 3 is amphoteric in nature:

1) Reactions with acids occur easily:

Fe(OH) 3 + 3HCl = FeCl 3 + 3H 2 O

2) Fresh precipitate Fe(OH) 3 dissolves in hot concentrated solutions of KOH or NaOH to form hydroxo complexes:

Fe(OH) 3 + 2KOH = K 3

In an alkaline solution, Fe(OH) 3 can be oxidized to ferrates (salts of iron acid H 2 FeO 4 not released in the free state):

2Fe(OH) 3 + 10KOH + 3Br 2 = 2K 2 FeO 4 + 6KBr + 8H 2 O

Fe 3+ salts

The most practically important are:

Fe 2 (SO 4) 3, FeCl 3, Fe(NO 3) 3, Fe(SCN) 3, K 3

The formation of double salts - iron alum is characteristic:

(NH 4)Fe(SO 4) 2 12H 2 O

KFe(SO 4) 2 12H 2 O

Fe 3+ salts are often colored both in the solid state and in aqueous solution. This is due to the presence of hydrated forms or hydrolysis products.

Iron oxides are compounds of iron and oxygen.

The most famous are three iron oxides: iron oxide (II) - FeO, iron (III) oxide – Fe 2 O 3 and iron (II, III) oxide – Fe 3 O 4.

Iron(II) oxide


The chemical formula of ferrous oxide is FeO . This connection is black in color.

FeO Reacts easily with dilute hydrochloric acid and concentrated nitric acid.

FeO + 2HCl → FeCl 2 + H 2 O

When interacting with hydrogen at a temperature of 350 o C and coke at a temperature above 1000 o C, it is reduced to pure iron.

FeO +H 2 → Fe + H 2 O

FeO +C → Fe + CO

Iron (II) oxide is obtained in different ways:

1. As a result of the reduction reaction of ferric oxide with carbon monoxide.

Fe 2 O 3 + CO → 2 FeO + CO 2

2. Heating iron with low oxygen pressure

2Fe + O 2 → 2 FeO

3. Decomposing ferrous oxalate in vacuum

FeC 2 O 4 → FeO +CO + CO 2

4. Interaction of iron with iron oxides at a temperature of 900-1000 o

Fe + Fe 2 O 3 → 3 FeO

Fe + Fe 3 O 4 → 4 FeO

In nature, ferrous oxide exists as the mineral wustite.

3Fe + 2 O 2 → Fe 3 O 4

3Fe + 4H 2 O → Fe 3 O 4 + 4H 2

Heating at a temperature of 1538 o C leads to its disintegration

2Fe 3 O 4 → 6FeO + O 2

Reacts with acids

Fe 3 O 4 + 8HCl → FeCl 2 + 2FeCl 3 + 4H 2 O

Fe 3 O 4 + 10HNO 3 → 3Fe(NO 3) 3 + NO 2 + 5H 2 O

Iron(II) oxide (ferrous oxide) - a complex inorganic compound of divalent iron and oxygen.

Physical properties

The connection is black. Crystal lattice like rock salt. It has a non-stoichiometric structure with a homogeneity range from Fe 0.84 O to Fe 0.95 O. This is due to the fact that its crystal lattice is stable only when not all of its nodes are occupied by iron atoms. Iron (II) oxide becomes stable only with increasing temperature.

Excerpt characterizing Iron(II) Oxide

Natasha blushed crimson hearing these words.
- How she blushes, how she blushes, ma delicieuse! [my precious!] - said Helen. - Definitely come. Si vous aimez quelqu"un, ma delicieuse, ce n"est pas une raison pour se cloitrer. Si meme vous etes promise, je suis sure que votre promis aurait desire que vous alliez dans le monde en son absence plutot que de deperir d'ennui. [Just because you love someone, my lovely, you should not live like a nun. Even if you are a bride, I am sure that your groom would prefer that you go out into society in his absence than die of boredom.]
“So she knows that I’m a bride, so she and her husband, with Pierre, with this fair Pierre,” thought Natasha, talked and laughed about it. So it’s nothing.” And again, under the influence of Helen, what had previously seemed terrible seemed simple and natural. “And she is such a grande dame, [important lady,] so sweet and obviously loves me with all her heart,” Natasha thought. And why not have fun? thought Natasha, looking at Helen with surprised, wide-open eyes.
Marya Dmitrievna returned to dinner, silent and serious, obviously defeated by the old prince. She was still too excited from the collision to be able to calmly tell the story. To the count's question, she answered that everything was fine and that she would tell him tomorrow. Having learned about Countess Bezukhova’s visit and invitation to the evening, Marya Dmitrievna said:
“I don’t like hanging out with Bezukhova and wouldn’t recommend it; Well, if you promised, go, you’ll be distracted,” she added, turning to Natasha.

Count Ilya Andreich took his girls to Countess Bezukhova. There were quite a lot of people at the evening. But the whole society was almost unfamiliar to Natasha. Count Ilya Andreich noted with displeasure that this entire society consisted mainly of men and women, known for their freedom of treatment. M lle Georges, surrounded by young people, stood in the corner of the living room. There were several Frenchmen, and among them Metivier, who had been her housemate since Helene's arrival. Count Ilya Andreich decided not to play cards, not to leave his daughters, and to leave as soon as the Georges performance was over.
Anatole was obviously at the door waiting for the Rostovs to enter. He immediately greeted the count, approached Natasha and followed her. As soon as Natasha saw him, just like in the theater, a feeling of vain pleasure that he liked her and fear from the absence of moral barriers between her and him overwhelmed her. Helen joyfully received Natasha and loudly admired her beauty and dress. Soon after their arrival, M lle Georges left the room to get dressed. In the living room they began to arrange chairs and sit down. Anatole pulled out a chair for Natasha and wanted to sit next to her, but the count, who had not taken his eyes off Natasha, sat down next to her. Anatole sat in the back.
M lle Georges, with bare, dimpled, thick arms, wearing a red shawl worn over one shoulder, walked out into the empty space left for her between the chairs and stopped in an unnatural pose. An enthusiastic whisper was heard. M lle Georges looked sternly and gloomily at the audience and began to speak some poems in French, which dealt with her criminal love for her son. In some places she raised her voice, in others she whispered, raising her head solemnly, in others she stopped and wheezed, rolling her eyes.
- Adorable, divin, delicieux! [Delightful, divine, wonderful!] - was heard from all sides. Natasha looked at fat Georges, but did not hear anything, did not see and did not understand anything of what was happening in front of her; she only felt again completely irrevocably in that strange, crazy world, so far from the previous one, in that world in which it was impossible to know what was good, what was bad, what was reasonable and what was crazy. Anatole was sitting behind her, and she, feeling his closeness, fearfully waited for something.
After the first monologue, the whole company stood up and surrounded m lle Georges, expressing their delight to her.
- How good she is! - Natasha said to her father, who, along with others, stood up and moved through the crowd towards the actress.
“I don’t find it, looking at you,” said Anatole, following Natasha. He said this at a time when she alone could hear him. “You are lovely... from the moment I saw you, I haven’t stopped....”
“Come on, let’s go, Natasha,” said the count, returning for his daughter. - How good!
Natasha, without saying anything, walked up to her father and looked at him with questioning, surprised eyes.
After several receptions of recitation, M lle Georges left and Countess Bezukhaya asked for company in the hall.
The Count wanted to leave, but Helen begged him not to ruin her impromptu ball. The Rostovs remained. Anatole invited Natasha to a waltz and during the waltz he, shaking her waist and hand, told her that she was ravissante [charming] and that he loved her. During the eco-session, which she again danced with Kuragin, when they were left alone, Anatole did not say anything to her and only looked at her. Natasha was in doubt whether she had seen what he said to her during the waltz in a dream. At the end of the first figure he shook her hand again. Natasha raised her frightened eyes to him, but there was such a self-confidently tender expression in his affectionate gaze and smile that she could not look at him and say what she had to say to him. She lowered her eyes.
“Don’t tell me such things, I’m engaged and love someone else,” she said quickly... “She looked at him. Anatole was not embarrassed or upset by what she said.
- Don't tell me about this. What do I care? - he said. “I’m saying that I’m madly, madly in love with you.” Is it my fault that you are amazing? Let's start.
Natasha, animated and anxious, looked around her with wide, frightened eyes and seemed more cheerful than usual. She remembered almost nothing of what happened that evening. They danced the Ecossaise and Gros Vater, her father invited her to leave, she asked to stay. Wherever she was, no matter who she spoke to, she felt his gaze on her. Then she remembered that she asked her father for permission to go to the dressing room to straighten her dress, that Helen followed her, told her laughing about her brother’s love, and that in the small sofa room she again met Anatole, that Helen disappeared somewhere, they were left alone and Anatole, Taking her hand, he said in a gentle voice:
- I can’t go to you, but will I really never see you? I love you madly. Really never?...” and he, blocking her path, brought his face closer to hers.
His brilliant, large, masculine eyes were so close to her eyes that she saw nothing but these eyes.
- Natalie?! – his voice whispered questioningly, and someone painfully squeezed her hands.
- Natalie?!
“I don’t understand anything, I have nothing to say,” said her look.
Hot lips pressed against hers and at that very moment she felt free again, and the noise of Helen’s steps and dress was heard in the room. Natasha looked back at Helen, then, red and trembling, looked at him with frightened questioning and went to the door.
“Un mot, un seul, au nom de Dieu, [One word, only one, for God’s sake,” said Anatole.
She stopped. She really needed him to say this word, which would explain to her what had happened and to which she would answer him.
“Nathalie, un mot, un seul,” he kept repeating, apparently not knowing what to say, and he repeated it until Helen approached them.
Helen and Natasha went out into the living room again. Without staying for dinner, the Rostovs left.
Returning home, Natasha did not sleep all night: she was tormented by the insoluble question of who she loved, Anatole or Prince Andrei. She loved Prince Andrei - she remembered clearly how much she loved him. But she loved Anatole too, that was certain. “Otherwise, how could all this have happened?” she thought. “If after that, when I said goodbye to him, I could answer his smile with a smile, if I could allow this to happen, then it means that I fell in love with him from the first minute. This means that he is kind, noble and beautiful, and it was impossible not to love him. What should I do when I love him and love another? she told herself, not finding answers to these terrible questions.
