Lighting steel wool

The video tutorial explains how lighting steel wool on fire is possible due to the oxidization of iron, which is a slow process that releases energy. By applying a battery to steel wool, this process is accelerated, making the energy release more visible.

What is unusual about lighting steel wool on fire?

• It is a non-metal burning.

• It is a metal burning.

• It does not produce any light.

• It is a common occurrence.

What happens during the slow oxidization of iron?

• It absorbs energy.

• It releases energy.

• It changes color.

• It becomes heavier.

How can the oxidization process of steel wool be accelerated?

• By covering it with plastic.

• By cooling it down.

• By applying a battery.

• By adding water.

What is the result of accelerating the oxidization process?

• The steel wool becomes non-conductive.

• The steel wool becomes colder.

• The energy release becomes more visible.

• The energy release becomes less visible.

What component in steel wool is primarily involved in the oxidization process?

• Copper

• Aluminum

• Zinc

• Iron
