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.

Answer:

C_2H_6O

Explanation:

The first step is the <u>calculation of the moles</u> of H_2O and CO_2, so:

114.6~g~CO_2\frac{1~mol~CO_2}{44~g~CO_2}=2.6~mol~of~CO_2

70.44~g~H_2O\frac{1~mol~H_2O}{18~g~H_2O}=~3.9~mol~H_2O

Now, in 1 mol of CO2 we have 1  mol of C and in 1 mol of H_2O we have 1 mol of H. Additionally, if we want to calculate the moles of oxygen we need to <u>calculate the grams of C and O</u> and then do the <u>substraction</u> form the initial amount, so:

2.6~mol~CO_2\frac{1~mol~C}{1~mol~CO_2}\frac{12~g~C}{1~mol~C}=31.25~g~of~C

3.9~mol~H_2O\frac{2~mol~H}{1~mol~H_2O}\frac{1~g~H}{1~mol~H}=7.82~g~of~H

Total~grams=~31.25~+~7.82=39.08~g

grams~of~O=60.00~g-~39.08~g=20.92~g~of~O

Now we can <u>convert the grams</u> of O to moles, so:

20.92~g~of~O\frac{1~mol~O}{16~g~O}=1.30~mol~O

The next step is to divide all the mol values by the <u>smallest one</u>:

O=\frac{1.30~mol~O}{1.30~mol~O}=~1

C=\frac{2.6~mol~C}{1.30~mol~O}=~2

H=\frac{7.82~mol~H}{1.30~mol~O}=6

Therefore the formula is C_2H_6O

Please Help 3. Were there any metallic compounds that did not react with either the acid or the base? Write the type of metal, b
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

1)KNO3 ( pottasium trioxonitrate (V)

2)Ca(NO3)2 (calcium trioxonitrate (V

Explanation:

1)KNO3 ( pottasium trioxonitrate (V)

2)Ca(NO3)2 (calcium trioxonitrate (V)

Thses two compounds are metallic compounds and does not react with either the acid or the base.

Write the type of metal, based on your examination of the periodic table?

1)KNO3 ( pottasium trioxonitrate (V) have a potassium element which belongs to group 2 of the Periodic table which is an alkaline metal and can react with water or steàm

2)Ca(NO3)2 (calcium trioxonitrate (V) has calcium metal element which is an alkaline earth metal in the Periodic table and they react with Hallogens

Can swords shatter from cold temperatures
sp2606 [1]
Depends on how the sword is made, what materials are used and temperature used but yes they can shatter.

When molecules cool down they stop vibrating and moving as much and so they "shrink" and the metal of the sword becomes brittle. sometimes they shrink at different phases which cause tension in the sword if this tension is strong enough it can cause the metallic bonds to break causing the sword to shatter.

hope that helps
