Hey there!
When two or more substances combine, they create one or more new substances, which sometimes have different molecular structures from the original substances, meaning they absorb and radiate light in different ways, leading to a color change.
Hope this helps! :)
For Iron:

For Oxygen:

These are the two chemical symbols for the two elements found in Iron Oxide.
Heterogenous mixtures can separates due to differences in size of components
Answer:
Explanation:
MnO₂(s) + 4 HCl(aq) = MnCl₂(aq) + 2 H₂O(l) + Cl₂
87 g 22.4 x 10³ mL
volume of given chlorine gas at NTP or at 760 Torr and 273 K
= 175 x ( 273 + 25 ) x 715 / (273 x 760 )
= 179.71 mL
22.4 x 10³ mL of chlorine requires 87 g of MnO₂
179.4 mL of chlorine will require 87 x 179.4 / 22.4 x 10³ g
= 696.77 x 10⁻³ g
= 696.77 mg .
