You and a friend were working in a same laboratory in a company. He/She said that there was a blue color solution labeled CuSO4 and He/She accidentally dropped a wad of steel wool (composed of iron metal) to the solution and few minutes later the color of the solution changed from blue to green. Furthermore, some red-brown (similar to penny color) materials were formed and settle down. As a chemistry student, how do you explain the reason (chemistry behind) for these observation to your friend.

In determining the volume of CO2 in the flask, the flask was filled with water and the total volume of the water in the stoppered flask was measured. A student filling the Erlenmeyer flask with water was in a rush and did not notice small air bubbles under the stopper. How would this error affect the experimental molar volume of CO2?
