Ferrous oxide, also known as iron(II) oxide, is a chemical compound with the formula FeO. It is a black, odorless solid that is insoluble in water. Ferrous oxide is a key component in the production of iron and steel, where it acts as a reducing agent. It is also used in the production of pigments, ceramics, and glass. Ferrous oxide can be synthesized by reacting iron with oxygen at high temperatures. It can also be prepared by heating iron(III) oxide in the presence of hydrogen gas. Ferrous oxide is an important compound in the study of iron chemistry. It is also used in the development of new materials with improved properties, such as increased strength and corrosion resistance.'
