How does a 9-volt battery catch steel wool on fire?
Electricity is energy. Energy can be different things. We have movement as an energy, kinetic energy that is. Then there is, amongst others heat, as an energy. Electricity must be in a circuit to work. When putting the 9volt battery in the steel wool you make a circuit. Then the electricity will flow through the steel wool. When the electricity is not being used by anything (no light bulbs or anything), it is being converted to heat energy. Steel wool burns easily, so the heat will easily ignite the steel wool.
What is the appearance of steel wool after twenty minutes in vinegar?
nag tanung hindi ko nga alm eh :P
What happens when you put steel wool in water?
The steel wool gets wet. If you take the steel wool out (into the air) again it will rust.
Does steel wool have iron in it?
steel is made from a mixture of iron and carbon so yes, steel wool definitely has iron in it
What happens when steel wool is burned?
200 degrees 2,000 degree's F* is more like it. And "Burning" Breaks down the Carbon to Carbon bonds causing the material to become brittle. "Burning" is referenced to be a prolonged exposure to high heat with out tempering.
Will vinegar rust steel wool?
yes, it will.
What would happen if steel wool was added to fluorine?
In the presence of fluorine (a reactive gas), steel wool will rapidly combine with the fluorine and any oxygen to generate substantial heat, possibly enough to burst into flames.
Why does vinegar dissolve steel wool?
By answering this question I'm assuming you meant steel wool? Vinegar is a weak acid but exposure over extended periods of time will cause corrosion to metals.
What product gives an exothermic reaction when added with vinegar?
steel wool
is wool or polyester or warmer?
Neither generate heat. Neither is warmer
What chemical change produces light and heat?
steel wool burns in oxegen and produces heat and light
Balance the equation of steel wool and vinegar?
4 Fe (s) + 3 O2 (g) --------> 2 Fe2O3
Will vinegar remove rust from an antique meat grinder?
White vinegar dissolves rust from metals. Objects can be soaked in white vinegar or the vinegar can be poured over the object and then scrubbed off using steel wool.

Is steel wool a conductor?
steel wool is steel made from wool, so it would be neither
Will thick steel wool or thin steel wool conduct electricity better?
thin steel wool
