Suppose you added a spoonful of sugar to hot water and another to ice-cold water. Which type of water will cause the sugar to dissolve more quickly? 2. Suppose you held a lighted match to a solid hunk of wood and another match to a pile of wood shavings. Which form of wood will catch fire more easily?

1. Hot water

2. A pile of wood shavings

Explanation:

Sugar can dissolve more quickly in hot water than in cold water because there is more energy in hot water molecules. Because they are moving faster, they have more energy to break the bonds that hold sugar together. There is also more energy available to break the hydrogen bonds that hold water together.

Wood shavings have a greater contact surface than the solid hunk of wood, which is why they have a higher calorific value and then they will catch fire more easily.

answer:

the reaction is type of combination reaction.

explanation:

on the product side, there are 2 molecules of bonded to fe   which means one atom of fe are combined two molecules of . so, balanced chemical equation becomes :

this reaction follows the reaction type of combination reaction. a combination reaction is defined as chemical reaction in which reactants combines together to form a single product.
