What is the cost of Iron, the element?

Hi. As with most things it depends on the cost of manufacture. : http://www.steelonthenet.com/commodity_prices.html

Well, iron is a metal that doesn't contain carbon. Both are elements i.e. substances that can't be broken down into simpler substances by a chemical reaction. Most of the known elements in the universe are metals eg. aluminium, gold, copper, but the non-metals are more abundant eg. oxygen, hydogen. They are termed metals because of their structure and the way in which they bond to other elements. Maybe by metal you meant metal alloy. Steel is an alloy (mixture) of iron and carbon. I think all alloys of iron have some carbon in them. Don't know if this is what you meant but it was good trying to think about an answer.

Steel is made in a mill.  It is an alloy of iron and some other element (which element varies).

it seems iron is the way to go, it is easy to get and the price is on the rise

It is very obvious that the answer is Fe(CO2)2 or (OOCCOO)Fe.

Elements heavier than iron are produced in two ways:\n\nActually, they are ONLY produced in supernovae.  You need a huge excess of energy around because fusion of atoms into atoms heavier than iron is an endothermic reaction.  \n\nBurbridge, Burbridge, Fowler and Hoyle published the DEFINITIVE paper that illustrated why we observe elements in the proportions we do.  They used the then new understanding of nuclear chemistry (the paper published in 1957) and an estimate of energy and nucleon density in supernova explosions to reproduce the observed proportions of heavy elements.  \n\nBelow I link to a nice wiki article that describes the history of answering your question.

How much does what cost?

In order to do this, you need to realize what the balanced equation is really saying, and what relation that has to mass.  Your equation says that for every 4 iron atoms that react with 3 diatomic oxygen molecules, you'll produce 2 iron (III) oxide molecules.  Molecules are great and all, but that doesn't help you when you're trying to figure things out in terms of grams.  That's where Avogadro's number and the concept of the mole come into play.\n\nOn the periodic table, you'll notice that there are two numbers for each element:  the atomic number, which is the number of protons in an atom of the element; and the atomic weight (or mass), which is the total weight, in grams, of one mole (6.022 X 10^23 atoms) of that element.  (The atomic weight is also roughly equal to the total number of protons and neutrons in the most common isotope of the element.)\n\nIn order to figure out how much product you'll produce, you need to figure out how many moles of Fe you have, then work out the proportions.  Start by figuring the molar mass of each molecule in the reaction:\nFe = 55.845\nO2 = 2(15.9994) = 31.9988\nFe2O3 = 2(55.945) + 3(15.9994) = 159.8882\n\nNow figure out how many moles of Fe you have:\n4086 g/55.845 g/mol = 73.167 mol\n73.167 mol/4 mol Fe\n\nNow figure out how many moles of Fe2O3 you produce:\n(73.167/4) X 2 = 36.584 mol Fe2O3\n\nMultiply this by the molar mass of Fe2O3 to get the mass of the product:\n36.584(159.8882) = 5849.350 g Fe2O3\n\nb) Do the same thing you did in a), just substitute O2 for Fe2O3:\n(73.167/4) X 3 = 54.875 mol O2\n54.875 x 31.9988 = 1755.942 g O2

E = cp*m * ∆T; you have cp (specific heat), m and ∆T.  Find how many moles 1kg of iron is, and subsitute that for the mass in the formula for cp.  You can get that information here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron

No, there is a fixed amount of iron on the planet.  It is an element.\n\nA renewable resource would be one that you can use and then produce more of like trees, crops, clean water etc...

Since the equation you listed isn't balanced, I'm going to attempt that first:\n\nFe2O3 + 3(CO) ----> 2Fe + 3(CO2)\n\nsince 1 mole of Fe2O3 seems to produce 2 moles of Fe, it would appear we need 5.9/2 = 2.95 moles of Fe2O3\n\nGiven that 1 mole of these elements weighs: (see source)\nO = 16g\nFe = 56g\n\n2.95 moles * ( 2 * 56g + 3 * 16g ) = 2.95 * 160g = 472g\n\nHope that helps.

you mean ferrum it is nothing but the latin name of iron.\n\nIron is the most abundant metal on Earth, and is believed to be the tenth most abundant element in the universe. Iron is also the second most abundant element by mass, making up 34% of the mass of the Earth; the concentration of iron in the various layers of the Earth ranges from high (how much is "high?") at the inner core to about 5% in the outer crust. It is possible the Earth's inner core consists of a single iron crystal, although it is more likely to be a mixture of iron and nickel. The large amount of iron in the Earth is thought to create its magnetic field (you mean to say this isn't known for sure?).\n\nIron is a metal extracted from iron ore, and is almost never found in the free elemental state. In order to obtain elemental iron, the impurities must be removed by chemical reduction. Iron is used in the production of steel, an alloy or solid solution of different metals, and some non-metals, particularly carbon.\n\nNuclei of iron have some of the highest binding energies per nucleon, surpassed only by the nickel isotope 62Ni. The universally most abundant of the highly stable nucleides is, however, 56Fe. This is formed by nuclear fusion in the stars. Although a further tiny energy gain could be extracted by synthesizing 62Ni, conditions in stars are not right for this process to be favoured. When a very large star contracts at the end of its life, internal pressure and temperature rise, allowing the star to produce progressively heavier elements, despite these being less stable than the elements around mass number 60, known as the "iron group". This leads to a supernova.\n\nSome cosmological models with an open universe predict that there will be a phase where as a result of slow fusion and fission reactions, everything will become iron.

Today's London price for zinc is US$ 1.980 per kilogram. That makes the cost of one gram $0.00198, or about two-tenths of one US cent.
