Answer:
Pottasium reacts with water vigorously and the reation is exothermic. The heat released causes the hydrogen released to ignite
Explanation:
Erm, I think when they are little. When they are just born.
Answer:
That iron atom is oxidized. It loses two electrons.
Explanation:
Compare the formula of an iron atom and an iron(II) ion:
- Iron atom:
; - Iron(II) ion:
.
The superscript 
in the iron(II) ion is the only difference between the two formulas. This superscript indicates a charge of on each ion. Atoms and ions contain protons. In many cases, they also contain electrons. Each proton carries a positive charge of 
and each electron carries a charge of 
. Atoms are neutral for they contain an equal number of protons and electrons.
Protons are located at the center of atoms inside the nuclei. They cannot be gained or lost in chemical reactions. However, electrons are outside the nuclei and can be gained or lost. When an atom loses one or more electrons, it will carry more positive charge than negative charge. It will becomes a positive ion. Conversely, when an atom gains one or more electrons, it becomes a negative ion.
An iron atom will need to lose two electrons to become a positive iron(II) ion with a charge of on each ion. That is:
.
- Oxidation is Losing one or more electrons;
- Reduction is Gaining one or more electrons.
This definition can be written as the acronym OILRIG. (Khan Academy.)
In this case, each iron atom loses two electrons. Therefore the iron atoms here are oxidized.
The soda can from the car will lose CO2 more quickly. This is because of the kinetic energy and behavior of gas molecules under different temperatures. CO2 is more soluble in cold temperatures than hot. Cold temperatures minimize the kinetic energy of gas molecules; thus, preventing the gas from escaping the soda. This is why soda that comes from the refrigerator has more fizz or spirit than soda at room temperature.
