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.

marin [14]

Answer: 63.26%

Explanation:

If we let the abundance of the first isotope be x, then:

69.66=(68.9255)(x)+(70.9247)(1-x)\\69.66=68.9255x+70.9247-70.9247x\\-1.2647=-1.9992x\\x=\frac{-1.2647}{-1.9992} \approx 0.6326

Which is equal to <u>63.26%</u>

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

When talking about our universe there are 5 d orbitals. The element of first transition series moves away from the universal principles of Hund's rule and Aufbav's principle. So in order to attain stability these elements tend to form half or full filled orbitals.

In our universe the ground state electronic configuration of sixth transition metal, Iron (Fe) :  [Ar] 3d^{6} 4s^{2}

and the electronic configuration of seventh transition metal, Cobalt (Co) :  [Ar] 3d^{7} 4s^{2}

=================================

=================================

In universe L there are seven orbitals.

Ground state electronic configuration of sixth and seven transition element.

Sixth transition metal: [Ar] 3d^{7} 4s^1 or [X] 3d^{7} 4s^1

Seventh transition metal: [Ar] 3d^{7} 4s^{2}or [X] 3d^{7} 4s^{2}
