Any reaction with asphalt and magnetized iron.

In summary, when asphalt and magnetized iron come in contact, the iron particles will be attracted to each other and may cause clumping on the asphalt surface. However, asphalt cannot be magnetized by iron and there is no chemical reaction between the two materials. The presence of magnetized iron may affect the properties of asphalt, but it can be removed by using a magnet or through sweeping/washing processes.

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
 

Related to Any reaction with asphalt and magnetized iron.

1. What happens when asphalt and magnetized iron come in contact?

When asphalt and magnetized iron come in contact, the iron particles will be attracted to each other due to their magnetic properties. This may cause clumping or sticking of the iron particles to the asphalt surface.

2. Can asphalt be magnetized by iron?

No, asphalt is not a magnetic material and cannot be magnetized by iron. The magnetic properties of iron do not transfer to the asphalt when they come in contact.

3. Will the presence of magnetized iron affect the properties of asphalt?

The presence of magnetized iron may affect the properties of asphalt, such as its strength and durability. The iron particles may cause clumping and uneven distribution of asphalt on the surface, which can weaken the overall structure.

4. Can asphalt and magnetized iron react chemically?

No, asphalt and magnetized iron do not undergo a chemical reaction when they come in contact. However, the physical interaction between the two materials may affect their properties.

5. How can the presence of magnetized iron be removed from asphalt?

The most effective way to remove magnetized iron from asphalt is by using a magnet. The magnet will attract and pull out the iron particles from the surface. Alternatively, a sweeping or washing process can also be used to remove the iron particles.
