Write a chemical equation of Dr. Jeff’s demonstration using a battery to light steel wool on fire. The battery is used to allow

a current to travel through the steel wool, thus heating it up. Steel wool is made from iron (Fe).

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.

What evidence supports a conservation law? 6 CO2 → C6H12O6 6 O2 6 CO2 6 H2O light → C6H12O6 6 O2 6 H2O light → C6H12O6 6 O2 6 CO

The law of conservation has been stated that the mass and energy has neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

The law of conservation has been evident when there has been an equal number of atoms of each element in the chemical reaction.

<h3>Conservation law</h3><h3 />

The given equation has been assessed as follows:

  • \rm 6\;CO_2\;\rightarrow\;C_6H_1_2O_6

The reactant has absence of hydrogen, while hydrogen has been present in the product. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.

  • \rm 6\;O_2\;+\;+\;6\;CO_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Light\;\rightarrow\;C_6H_1_2O_6

The number of atoms of each reactant has been different on the product and the reactant side. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.

  • \rm 6\;O_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Light\;\rightarrow\;C_6H_1_2O_6

The reactant has the presence of carbon, while it has been absent in the reactant. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.

  • \rm 6\;O_2\;+\;6\;CO_2\;\rightarrow\;3\;C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;3\;O_2

The product has the presence of hydrogen, while it has been absent in the reactant. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.

The density of whole milk 1.04 g per mL. What is the volume (in quarts) of 18.5 pounds of whole milk?
nadya68 [22]

The volume : 8,526 quarts

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The density of whole milk = 1.04 g/ml

mass = 18.5 pounds

Required

The volume

Solution

Conversion of mass

1 pound = 453,592 g

18.5 pounds = 8391,45 g

Density formula:

\large{\boxed {\bold {\rho~=~ \frac {m} {V}}}}.

Input the value :

V = m : ρ

V = 8391,45 g : 1.04 g/ml

V = 8068.7 ml

1 ml = 0,00105669 quarts

8068.7 ml =8,526 quarts

The half-life of tritium (H-3) is 12.3 years. If 48.0mg of tritium is released from a nuclear power plant during the course of a
Rudiy27

Answer:

The amount left after 49.2 years is 3mg.

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of tritium = 12.3 years

Total mass pf tritium = 48.0 mg

Mass remain after 49.2 years = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of half lives.

Number of half lives = T elapsed/ half life

Number of half lives =  49.2 years /12.3 years

Number of half lives =  4

Now we will calculate the amount left after 49.2 years.

At time zero 48.0 mg

At first half life = 48.0mg/2 = 24 mg

At second half life = 24mg/2 = 12 mg

At 3rd half life = 12 mg/2 = 6 mg

At 4th half life =  6mg/2 = 3mg

The amount left after 49.2 years is 3mg.

Liquid does not act that a solid. how is it different from a solid and gas?
Wittaler [7]
Unlike solid matter, where particles are tightly packed and slightly vibrating, or gas, where particles go around everywhere and are extremely loose, a liquid has particles that are loosely packed but are still in slight contact with each other. Hope that's good enough
