For science, my topic is about iron. I can‘t find any information about who uses iron. Please help?
Iron is the principal element in steel, so ships, cars, buildings are all made of steel. So many people use steel (iron) in their work.
Most people I know buy wrinkle free and permanent press fabrics, or take their clothes to the dry cleaners. You can give it a try to see if you get enough business. Some things to consider are that you have a clean home to do the ironing in because odors will be absorbed by the clothing. And you don't want dust, dirt, fried food smells and residue, cigarette smoke or roaches to contaminate the clothing. Also, charge more than .50c per item. Shirts and blouses can take five or more minutes per shirt, and if you ruin someone's clothing, you'll have to pay for replacing it. Some shirts and women's blouses cost hundreds of dollars apiece. You should check the clothing over before you iron it to see if there are any spots, tears, etc. and have the owner sign off on a sheet saying what flaws the garment had when you received it. That way garment owners can't claim later that you ruined their clothing. Good luck.
Uses of Iron ?Iron catalysts are used in the Haber-Bosch Process to produce ammonia and the Fischer-Tropsch Process to convert carbon monoxide to hydrocarbons used for fuels and lubricants. ?Iron metal is strong but is also quite cheap. Therefore, it is the most common metal in use today. Most automobiles, machine tools, the hulls of large ships, building parts and machine parts are made out of iron. ?Stainless steel is a very common type of steel. Steel is made by combining iron with other metals. Stainless steel is used in building parts, cooking pots and pans, cutlery and surgical equipment. It is also used in aircraft and automobiles. Stainless steel is also 100% recyclable (see our post how does recycling help the environment). ?Iron (III) chloride is a very important compound. It is used in the treatment of sewage, as a dye for cloth, as a coloring agent for paint, an additive in animal feed, an in the manufacture of printed circuit boards. ?Iron (II) sulfate is used to treat iron deficiency (anemia). It also removes very small sewage particles in water tanks. -------------------- I hope this is helpful.
