I think basically what happens is a single replacement (or maybe double?) but copper will be drawn from the copper sulfate and form on the outside of the steel wool. If it's a double replacement then something in the steel wool will replace the copper and you'll have a new sulfate solution. I remember doing this lab in chemistry a number of years back, so sorry that I can't remember all the details. T_T
Fe + CuSO4 -> FeSo4 + Cu it's a single replacement reaction The steel wool becomes copper plated.
Just add it to the solution and the copper will precipitate out.
Copper and steel have hardness of around 3 and 6 respectively on the Mohs scale. You can use them to test any mineral, and roughly estimate its hardness. If it's scratched by copper, it's less than 3, if it's scratched by steel but not by copper, it's between 3 and 6, if neither copper nor steel scratches it, then it's above 6.
Wool is a protein fibre. Proteins are chains of amino acids. In fibres their beta structure keeps the chains from coiling up.
Copper is deposed on the steel wool.

The steel wool gets wet. If you take the steel wool out (into the air) again it will rust.
it catches fire
Sending a small electrical charge through a pad of steel wool, will cause the metal to glow and burst into flames.
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).
The steel wool will burned and turned in black substance.
steel wool is steel made from wool, so it would be neither
thin steel wool
Steel wool will burn. Try a section cut rom a copper Chore-Boy pot scrubber.
