The reaction occurs in a similar way as magnesium does, but much less vigorous. Strong heating is required to make iron powder burn in oxygen. The reaction gives out a yellow showery sparks and produces a black solid. iron reacts with dilute hydrocloric acid to give iron chloride and hydrogen gas.

For a reaction to occur there must be effective collision between the reactant molecules. When the iron or the reactant particles are finely divided that increases the surface area exposing more reactant particles on the surface and increase the rate of intermoleculer collision. The  greater effective collision between the reactant molecules the faster will the reaction occur.

Compare and contrast the ease at which molecules are able to move relative to each other in the three states of matter
ANTONII [103]
The arrangement of molecules within the 3 phases of matter are shown in the picture. 

For the solid, the molecules are packed closely together. They don't have much space to move, so they just practically vibrate. For the liquid, the molecules are relatively farther from each other. The liquid molecules can flow freely but not as much as the gases. In the gases, the molecules are very far from each other. They are very sensitive to slight changes of pressure, volume and temperature.

What best describes how the behavior of rocks changes when they become deeply buried and placed under high levels of heat and pr
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

They become ductile and deform plastically

Explanation:

When rocks are buried by the materials up to a greater depth, then the confining pressure increases significantly. This results in the ductile behavior of the rocks at such depth. These rocks are present in the ductile region where the depth is about more than 20 to 30 km. Here the rocks are subjected to extremely high pressure and temperature conditions, which favors the transformation of rocks into more higher-grade metamorphic rocks. It is also enhanced due to the geothermal gradient.

Under such high pressure and temperature, the rocks show the behavior of plasticity, where the rocks undergo bending, buckling as well as they tend to flow, and there occurs low strain rate, resulting in the permanent deformation of rocks.

Thus, the rocks become ductile and deform plastically at such conditions.

Drupady [299]
<span>It is the valence orbit that controls the electrical properties of the atom. The valence electron is referred to as a "free electron.' Valence electrons have the highest energy of all electrons in an atom; they are also the most reactive, meaning they are usually the electrons involved in bonding. When silicon atoms combine to form a solid, they arrange themselves into an orderly pattern called a crystal.</span>

How much sulfur (in tons), present in the original materials, would result in that quantity of S)2
Olegator [25]
Sulfur reacts with oxygen to produce sulfur dioxide. That is for every mole of sulfur reacted, one mole of sulfur dioxide also is produced. With the given mole of sulfur dioxide, the amount of sulfur in mass is determined by multiplying the number of moles to the molar mass of sulfur (32 g/mol).
