Both need oxygen and a main heat source like a Bunsen burner witch is a non luminous flame but you can use a wick candle and take a piece of steel wool and fluff it up a bit so oxygen can get in to the spaces to let the steel wool burn faster and more efficient because the oxygen feeds the flame. Then light the fluffed steel wool. You will see a combustion reaction with the steel wool, the oxygen and it's ignition source.
2Fe + 3O2 + heat = then make your observation
The same kind of reaction goes with the rusting of steel wool but it's just oxidization of the iron in the steel and to have a rusting reaction you will need a liquid compound such as water or some time gasoline will rust steel but the test you would do gasoline would not be a safe solution but water would work better because the natural sodium and other minerals would help in the decomposition reaction to the steel
So for the test take steel wool ( just about a half a gram) and jam it in the back of a long but narrow test tube the take a graduated cylinder and put about 50ml just enough for a precipitation reaction ( basically condensation) so the steel wool can have O2 and H2O to rust the steel wool. So put the narrow cylinder test tube face down in the water so the steel wool at the bottom of the test tube us faceing down and not in the water. So right now theirs a tight seal of O2 and H2O vapors allowing a decomposition reaction
Fe + O2 + H2O = observe the results may vary
The similarity is they both use a single decomposition reaction
yes it will.
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.
WOOD + OXYGEN > CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER
It is an exothermic reaction. However, rusting of iron liberates only a small amount of heat as compared to other forms of metal corrosion.
Ideally you would want something that is lightweight and corrosion resistant. I suppose titanium wool would be best, but I don't know if it exists. Stainless steel wool would be better than regular steel wool because it would last longer. Some of the best suppressors don't use steel wool, but use baffles instead. Some companies use copper wool, but I suspect that it is not as good as stainless steel. You could try using aluminum turnings from a lathe, but I don't know how long they would last.
steel wool is steel made from wool, so it would be neither
thin steel wool
During time some corrosion can be observed.
the wool does not rust
Steel wool is a mixture.
steel wool burns in oxegen and produces heat and light
The steel wool gets wet. If you take the steel wool out (into the air) again it will rust.
