    Iron Reaction
AI Thread Summary
Tossing a magnetized iron bar on asphalt can lead to demagnetization due to random impacts, although this process occurs slowly unless subjected to extreme force. The material of the surface, such as asphalt, does not significantly affect the demagnetization process. To remagnetize the iron bar, it can be placed in a strong external magnetic field. Overall, while impacts can demagnetize the iron, the surface type is not a critical factor in this process. Understanding these principles can help in managing magnetization effectively.

1. if one had a bar of iron that was magnetized and tossed it around on the asphalt, why does it get demagnetized.
2. how can i re magnetize it?
3. I don't get the question

It wouldn't.
 
The only thing I can think of is that random impacts will eventually demagnetize it, but...really slowly unless you're slamming it into the asphalt at like 3000 mph. The fact that it's asphalt doesn't matter

Regardless, you can remagnetize and magnetize things(not EVERY thing as you know) by putting them in a strong external magnetic field

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
