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 can you say about the forces between the particles of these gases)​
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Gas – In a gas, particles are in continual straight-line motion. The kinetic energy of the molecule is greater than the attractive force between them, thus they are much farther apart and move freely of each other. In most cases, there are essentially no attractive forces between particles.

A photon has 8.0 × 10–15 J of energy. Planck’s constant is 6.63 × 10–34 J•s. What is the frequency of the photon
german
The formula is:
frequency * h (Planck's constant) = Energy
So, to find frequency you need just divide energy by the constant:
frequency = (8 * 10^-15 J) / (6.63 * 10^-34 J*s) = 1.2 * 10^19 1/s or 1.2 * 10^19 Hz
