restricted to iron or products made from it .Iron is easily prone to rusting making its surface rough. Chemically‚ rust is a hydrated ferric oxide Titanic‘s bow exhibiting microbial corrosion damage in the form of ‘rusticles’ Rusting an Electrochemical Mechanism ; Rusting may be explained by an electrochemical mechanism. In the presence of moist air containing dissolved oxygen or carbon dioxide‚ the commercial iron behave as if composed of small electrical cells. At anode of cell‚ iron passes into

Iron plays a key role in maintaining the body. It is used in the production of hemoglobin‚ a protein found in red blood cells‚ which transports oxygen to muscles and tissues throughout the body. On the other hand‚ too much iron is detrimental and can cause various significant diseases. C282Y and H63D are mutations found on the HFE gene and are the major cause of inherited iron overload (hereditary hemochromatosis). As a result‚ iron regulation is disrupted and too much iron is absorbed from a strong

copper sulfate (blue crystals)‚ sodium chloride (salt)‚ and iron. Copper sulfate is a chemical compound which is produced commercially by reacting various copper (II) compounds with sulfuric acid [1]. It generally appears as a bright blue or green crystal [1]. Its chemical formula is CuSo4. Iron is silver-white magnetic metallic and readily rusts in moist air [3]. Its chemical formula is Fe. The chemical reaction was demonstrated by the iron reacting to the copper sulfate.
