How could the survivors about starting a fire?

Chemistry

joja [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The ancient Greeks believed that fire was one the four basic elements that composed all things in the universe. In the mythology of virtually every culture, fire is a sacred substance that gives life or power. Fire is not, in fact, a substance. When you gaze at the leaping flames of a campfire, you’re observing not an object, but a process – a chemical reaction. It’s the same chemical reaction that occurs when a cut apple left on the counter turns brown, when silver tarnishes or when an iron nail rusts.

That process is oxidation: combining oxygen with another substance. The defining difference between a fire and your half-eaten apple is speed: fire is an oxidation process that happens very fast, so that light, heat and sound are released — often with enough force and majesty to justify the ancients’ reverence.The sudden release of energy causes temperatures to rise, sometimes by thousands of degrees. And it also results in smoke, the toxic waste of fire’s leftovers.

fuel (something that will burn)

heat (enough to make the fuel burn)

and air (oxygen)

Why is feo named using a roman numeral, iron (ii) oxide, whereas cao named without a roman numeral, calcium oxide?
Hitman42 [59]
<span>Answer: Some metals have the ability to form differently charged ions. For example, iron can form 2 + or 3 + ions. If you simply gave the name iron chloride, you would not know which charge the iron ion possessed. A Roman numeral is to indicate the charge of the iron. Iron ( II ) means the iron has a 2 + charge Iron ( III ) means that the iron has a 3 + charge So, iron ( II ) oxide would have a chemical formula of FeO . (The oxide ion has a 2 â’ charge to balance the 2 + of the iron to form a neutral compound.) Iron ( III ) oxide would have a chemical formula of Fe 2 O 3 (Here you need to find the common multiple of 6, so two iron ions with a 3 + charge will balance the charge of three oxide ions with a 2 + charge.)</span>

Are elements always transparent
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

No, the elements are not always transparent.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The elements become transparent when the light passes through those elements. Transparency is caused because of the transmission and the passing of the light waves through these elements.

But the metals do not become transparent even when the light waves pass through these metals. Metals do not become transparent because the refractive index in them is very big.
