When steel wool is placed in lemon juice, a reaction occurs due to the acidity of the lemon juice and the presence of iron in the steel wool. The acid can cause the iron to oxidize more rapidly, leading to rust formation. This reaction may result in the steel wool becoming discolored and producing some heat due to the exothermic nature of oxidation. Additionally, you might see some bubbling as the acid reacts with the metal.
