Anyone have an old chemistry book?

Can someone tell me the heat of reaction for burning iron, and give me the bibliographic information for the Chemistry book, please? I threw out all of my old chem. books when I left college. Trust me, it's for a good cause.

I can find out on Monday. Use my teacher's book for hi chemistry classes.

Thanks, Captain Lennox. It's really important.

The only hard part is from what to what(I know you said burning iron) but because I would need the persay the before since that heat of reaction is the value of q required to return a system to the given temperature at the completion of the reaction.
I hope this helps...if not sorry.

Do you mean for the production of metallic iron from iron ore like in a blast furnace? I have a graphic from my book which may be helpful. Also has the redux equations.

That would be it. It comes from an obscure SW novel quote, so I'm using the combustion of iron as a lower-limit.

The melting point according to my book is 1539°C for pure iron.
In a blast furnace, the iron reacts with carbon reducing the melting point to only ~1200°C

Sorry I didn't get this up earlier but I just got done with a 14 hour day at
work. Hope it's helpful.
EDIT: More specific info from General Chemistry 4th edition, Ralph H. Petrucci pg 724
Reduction of iron oxide:
3CO + Fe
2O
3 --> 2Fe + 3CO
2 (900 Celcius Edit2: this is only an approximation)
