Why would iron filings rust faster than an iron nail?

In a laboratory experiment, a fermenting aqueous solution of glucose and yeast produces carbon dioxide gas and ethanol. the solution was heated by burning natural gas in a bunsen burner to distill the ethanol that formed in the flask. during the distillation, the ethanol evaporated and then condensed in the receiving flask. the flame of the burner was kept too close to the bottom of the flask and some of the glucose decomposed into a black carbon deposit on the inside of the flask. during this experiment the following changes occurred. which of these changes involved a physical change and not a chemical change? check all that apply. 1-condensation of ethanol 2-evaporation of ethanol 3- formation of carbon dioxide gas from glucose burning of natural gas 4-formation of ethanol from glucose by yeast 5-formation of a carbon deposit inside the flask

Why does the sun appear to be the brightest star in the sky? a- its apparent brightness is much greater than other stars. b- it burns more gas, making it brighter than any other star. c- it is the largest star in the galaxy, so it is the brightest star. d- its relative distance to earth is closer than the other stars.
