Need your help ASAP for an art exhibit on periodic - artygal
 
HI Folks, I am a visual artist working with periodic table equasions. I am trying to figure out, and need your help ASAP!!! for an exhibit in one month, the following info below:
1. What would be an equasion for wood (such as wood flooring non laminated)?
2. What would be an equasion for fire (the kind that is gas from a stove top)?
3. What would be an equasion for Air (other than N2O2), the kind that comes from an electric ceiling fan in a home (would it be the same)?
4. I know water is H2O but, would it be other if it comes from a water faucet in your home?
Would anyone like me to post my new symbiotic drawings once they are completed? Now sure how to do it but will see if I could create a link and post that.
THANKING you for your helppppp- artygal

1- Wood had no definite formula as the exact makeup varys between wood types. However it will mostly be comprised of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen as well as other elements.

2- If the stove is burning methane the formula would be CH4 + 2O2 -> 2H2O + CO2 other fuels will have similar reactions..

3- Air is approx 20% O2 and 80% N2 however it will contain traces of other gasses such as CO2 helium, neon NOx

4- For all intents and purposes water is H20 it may contain tiny amounts of minerals as well as dissolved gasses but its best off not worrying about them

Thank you kindly for this most helpful information. I would like to credit you in the exhibit...other than hwguy. Not sure how to go about contacting you.

I do have other questions. Would you like to be a consultant on this project? If so, reply here and lets figure out how we can contact each other.- artygal

Firstly, it is "equations" not "equasions". H2O will remain in its original molecule but as a solution there may be dilute materials in it, but these probably won't react with the water molecule. I'm such a geek! GAAH!

Wow! Visual artist working on something about chemistry! It rarely does happen that the arts and chemistry (which is near math) combine forces together. That's cool. :)
