Steel wool is a Mixture-Mechanical
Copper is deposed on the steel wool.
Steel wool is not soluble in water, neither can it absorb water but can get wet so if you take the steel wool out of the water the wet (due to capillary action and surface tension) steel wool will weigh more than dry steel wool. Then the steel wool will rust (and the mass will increase because oxygen unites with iron to form the rust).
A physical bond. Steel wool is composed of fine fibers of steel spun together to hold shape as a "bun" of fibers, but its merely a loose physical bond.
use the steel wool to complete the circuit on a 9 volt battery. Touch it to both ends of the battery at once and it will spark, have kindling nearby to be lit by the steel wool.
Sending a small electrical charge through a pad of steel wool, will cause the metal to glow and burst into flames.
what would happen if a large piece of steel wool was used? A much smaller piece

steel wool is steel made from wool, so it would be neither
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.
the wool does not rust
Steel wool is a mixture.
The steel wool gets wet. If you take the steel wool out (into the air) again it will rust.

Depends on whether you leave the steel wool in the Pepsi. If you take it out, the water in the Pepsi will cause the steel wool to rust away. If you leave it in, the phosphoric acid will slowly dissolve the steel wool.
