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).

What happens when you put steel wool near a heating vent?

Steel wool can ignite when exposed to high heat, such as from a heating vent, because of its fine and flammable nature. It can catch fire and potentially lead to a hazardous situation. It's important to keep flammable materials away from heating vents to prevent accidents.


When you put ice cubes in a jar what happens to the outside of the jar?

Condensation forms on the outside of the jar when you put ice cubes inside, due to the cold temperature of the ice cubes causing the surrounding air to cool and reach its saturation point. This results in moisture in the air condensing on the colder surface of the jar.


Do you have a sealed jar full of air if you put it in the freezer what happens to the gas pressure in the jar?

If you put a sealed jar full of air in the freezer, the gas pressure inside the jar will decrease. This occurs because the temperature of the gas drops, leading to a reduction in the kinetic energy of the air molecules, which results in fewer collisions with the jar's walls. According to Boyle's law, as the temperature decreases, the pressure also decreases, assuming the volume of the jar remains constant.


How does a gas respond when put in a jar?

It expands to fill the jar and takes the shape of it.


What happens if you put steel in Bleach?

When steel is placed in bleach, a chemical reaction occurs. The bleach will start to oxidize the steel, causing it to rust. This can result in the formation of iron oxide, which gives the appearance of the steel surface corroding or breaking down.
