Question
Chapter 20, Problem 50A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The place where steel wool should be stored needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Steel wool is made up of filaments of steel and alloy of iron and carbon.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 50A
Correct answer:
Option C - Stored it within a desiccant
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option:
Because when steel wool is stored with in a desiccant, this protected the steel wool from moisture
Conclusion
Reasons for incorrect options:
A. When steel wool is stored in water, it becomes wet and gets rusted.
B. When steel wool is exposed in air then it gets rusted due the presence of oxygen in air.
