Iron yields

If this reaction is implemented at temperatures where the iron yielded is a solid, a sectioned, fractionally reacted iron oxide might appear as shown in Figure 3.26. As shown, for the hydrogen to reach the iron oxide with which it reacts, it has to diffuse through a layer of iron (mostly porous). In addition, the water vapour produced as a consequence of the reaction must be transported away from the iron-iron oxide interface by diffusion. Failing this, there will be accumulation of water vapour at the interface which will permit equilibrium point to be attained and the reaction ceases from further occurring. 

Nevertheless, as has been emphasized by Ramaty et al. (2000), the kind of boost to the cosmic-ray flux per supernova implied by Eq. (9.57) is untenable on energetic grounds. From present-day abundances, one can estimate the quantity Q/W, the number of Be atoms per erg of cosmic-ray energy. Given an iron yield of 0.2 M per average supernova (of both types) today, and a Be/Fe ratio of 10-6, one finds a yield of 4 x 1048 Be atoms per supernova. If the typical supernova explosion energy is 1051 erg and the cosmic-ray acceleration efficiency is 10 per cent, this...

Tho best way to try the quality of cast-iron is to Strike its edge with a hammer. Should the blow make a slight impression, the iron must be in some degree malleable, and, if tho specimen be uniform, it may be regarded as good for machinery if, on thg contrary, tho hammer make no impression, and fragments fly off, the iron is brittle, and, consequently, bad. The soft cast-iron yields readily to the file after the outer crust has been romoved, and is, in a cold state, slightly malleable. 

Positive ions are often regarded as Lewis acids. However, many of these, particularly polyvalent ions, are strongly hydrated in solution and thus become ordinary Bronsted acids (of the same type as Co(NH3)q+). Thus salts of tripositive iron yield a hydrate, expressed noncommittally as Fe(H20)l+ whose dissociation constant in water has been found to be about the same as that of H3PO4 ... 

On the other hand, selenium, tellurium, arsenic, antimony, and carbon disulphide appear to bum readily in dry oxygen.11 Dry ozone is decomposed on warming, but may be prepared in the usual way from dry oxygen.12 Iron yields its characteristic tempering colours when heated in dry air or oxygen.13 Both lead nitrate and potassium chlorate decompose when dry. 

Cobalt, like iron, yields complex cyanide derivatives known respectively as cobalto-eyanides,M4Co(CN)(),andcobalti-cyanides, M3Co(CN)s. Of these, the latter alone are important. Rhodium and iridium in a similar manner yield rhodi-cyanides, M3Rh(CN)6, and iridi-cyanides, M3Ir(CN]6. 

Ruthenium Dicarbonyl, Ru(CO)a.—Ruthenium, like iron, yields a carbonyl derivative. It is obtained as an orange-yellow deposit upon subjecting ruthenium black to the action of carbon monoxide at 300° C. under a pressure of 400 atmospheres. The product is extracted from the residue by solution in alcohol. It is insoluble in benzene and in hydrochloric acid, but soluble in nitric acid and in bromine, gas being evolved. When heated, a mirror of metallic ruthenium is produced.5 In contradistinction to the other carbonyls of this group of metals ruthenium dicarbonyl is not volatile. 

Native platinum frequently contains traces of nickel, as evidenced by the spectrochemical examination of specimens from Russia, Spain, and America. A sample from Kitlim,1 for example, contained 0-1 per cent, of nickel or more.8 Only one previous analysis of platinum appears to have been recorded, containing nickel, namely, a magnetic platinum from Nizhne-Tagilsk, in which 0-75 per cent, of nickel was present. Platinum ores rich in iron yield the most intense nickel spectrum. 

When iron is heated m contact with carbon and its oxides, many interesting reactions occur. At 900° C. in a current of carbon dioxide iron yields ferrous oxide, whilst at 1200° C. magnetite is produced, which is both magnetic and crystalline. Ignition in carbon monoxide at 1000° C. yields ferrous oxide.6... 

When heated in hydrogen chloride, iron yields ferrous chloride, free hydrogen being evolved.6... 

Heated to dull redness in bromine vapour, iron yields a yellow crystalline dibromide, FeBr2, or the dark red ferric salt, FeBr3, according to circumstances, excess of bromine vapour being essential to produce the latter compound. 

Heated with excess of iodine, iron yields a grey mass of ferrous iodide the same salt is formed when iron filings are triturated with iodine (see below).

When iron bound by fiber at several iron concentrations was plotted against the ratio bound iron/free iron, straight lines resulted. Intercepts with the axis for bound iron yielded coefficients of binding for wheat NDF, 0.39 maize NDF, 0.30 maize or wheat ADF, 0.24 cellulose 0.22 mg iron/g fiber (11).
