Steel wool is fine ribbons of steel, and steel doesn't have a fixed chemical formula. We know that steel is mostly iron (Fe) with a percent or so of carbon. We also know that different trace metals appear in it as well. We thus know that steel wool doesn't have a specific chemical formula as it is a metal alloy, which is actually a mixture, and not what we generally think of as a chemical compound.

What happens when you put steel wool in a jar?
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).
How is weathering of steel wool like the weathering of a rock?
Both steel wool and rocks undergo physical and chemical weathering processes when exposed to the elements. Steel wool can rust when exposed to moisture, similar to how rocks can break down due to freezing and thawing cycles or chemical reactions with water. Both processes result in the breakdown of the material over time.
Is steel wool a mixture- solution?
Steel wool is a Mixture-Mechanical
What happens when steel wool is added to copper sulphate?
Copper is deposed on the steel wool.
Are magnets attracted to steel wool?
Yes, magnets are attracted to steel wool because steel wool is made of fine strands of steel, which is a ferromagnetic material. When a magnet is brought close to steel wool, the magnetic field causes the steel fibers to become magnetized, resulting in an attractive force. This property allows for the effective use of magnets in various applications involving steel wool.
What is the chemical name of steel wool?
Steel wool is made from an iron alloy, not a chemical compound with a formula.
Is steel wool physical or chemical change?
When the steel wool burns, it is oxidized and thus this is a chemical change.
Is rusting steel wool a physical or chemical change?
Rusting of steel wool is a chemical change because it involves a reaction between iron in the steel wool and oxygen in the air to form iron oxide (rust). This new substance has different properties than the original steel wool.
What is the formula for steel?
The chemical formula for steel is Fe3C
Does stainless steel have a chemical formula?
no
Is steel wool a conductor?
steel wool is steel made from wool, so it would be neither
What is the difference when you put water on steel wool and salt on steel wool?
the wool does not rust
Is steel wool an element or mixture?
Steel wool is a mixture.

Then the steel wool will rust (and the mass will increase because oxygen unites with iron to form the rust).
What is the chemical formula for copper wool?
Wool is a protein fibre. Proteins are chains of amino acids. In fibres their beta structure keeps the chains from coiling up.
