  • Iron Oxidation: Word Equation & Products - Chemistry Explained
    The word equation for iron wool burning in pure oxygen to produce iron oxide is:

    Iron + Oxygen → Iron oxide

    This is a simplified representation of the reaction, and it doesn't specify the exact type of iron oxide formed. In reality, the reaction usually produces a mixture of iron(II) oxide (FeO) and iron(III) oxide (Fe₂O₃), also known as rust.
