Answer:
Activation energy is needed so reactants can move together, overcome forces of repulsion, and to begin breaking bonds.
Explanation:
Answer:
2Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --------> 2FeO3(s)
Explanation:
According to the question, a battery was used to light the steel wool by bringing the terminals very close together. When the battery came into contact with the steel wool, current was sent out through the thin wire. This caused the iron to heat up quite well.
Iron reacts with oxygen under these conditions as follows;
2Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --------> 2FeO3(s)
This is the chemical reaction that occurs when the steel wool is set on fire.
The empirical formula for a compound is KClO3
Explanation
find the moles of each element
moles = % composition/molar mass
molar mass of of potassium =39g/mol ,chlorine = 35.5 g/mol, oxygen =16 g/mol
moles of potassium = 31.9 / 39 = 0.818 moles
moles of chlorine = 28.9/35.5 = 0.814 moles
moles of oxygen = 39.2/ 16 = 2.45 moles
find the mole ratio by dividing with the smallest mole = 0.814 moles
potassium = 0.818/0.814 =1
chlorine = 0.814/0.814 = 1
oxygen = 2.45 /0.814 =3
the empirical formula is therefore = KClO3
Chemical property is the ability of a substance to react with other substances or to transform into other substances. The stability of a compound indicates how much it "prefers" to remain as such or to get transformed. Then the stability is a chemical property.
