Therefore, we chose those colors to represent SAAC. However, each type of cancer has its own color, and these are listed below:
Reaction of iron with the halogens. Iron reacts with excess of the halogens F2, Cl2, and Br2, to form ferric, that is, Fe(III), halides. This reaction is not very successful for iodine because of thermodynamic problems. The iron(III) is too oxidizing and the iodide is too reducing.
First some background... Rust is the result of an electro-chemical reaction between iron and oxygen and the end result is iron oxide. As with many chemical reactions we need a third element which in this case is water or H20.
