Steel Wool Burning In Oxygen. When a metal reacts with oxygen, a metal oxide forms. Fill the cylinder with oxygen and cover it with a large glass square. Holding a piece of steel wool with tongs, ignite the steel wool by placing it in. The story explains that steel wool burns because it has lots of thin strands holding atoms that come into contact with oxygen in the air, making it more difficult for heat to. Metal + oxygen → metal oxide. The general equation for this reaction is: Since our atmosphere is only 20% oxygen anyway, it takes some special measures to get enough oxygen to react with iron to cause combustion. Wood actually lets out combustible gases as it burns, which react immediately with oxygen. This reaction releases heat, heating up the next bit of iron and so on, causing a cascading. Contact with oxygen is crucial to how fast and how hot the iron in steel wool burns — a pure. It’s a combination of two factors: Why does steel wool burn, when bigger bits of steel like nails, screws, knives and forks don’t? As the reaction between iron and oxygen produces iron oxide, the mass increases.
