What are the precautions in specific heat capacity experiment?
There are several precautions that should be taken in specific heat capacity experiments: The sample should be of a known, uniform composition. The sample should be of a known, uniform size. The sample should be of a known, uniform shape. The sample should be clean and dry. The sample should be at the same temperature as the calorimeter. The calorimeter should be well insulated. The calorimeter should be of known heat capacity. The surroundings should be at a constant temperature.
Why should the energy be removed to freeze water?
Ice at 0°C has less energy than water at 0°C. This has to do with the forces between molecules - in other words, there is potential energy involved. To freeze the water, this excess energy has to go somewhere - ergo, it has to be removed.
What cup will freeze water faster glass or a foam?
I assume you mean the water in the cup. Foam is a better insulator than glass, so it should be the water in the glass cup.
Your pressure should?
Your pressure should be taken 3 times in this case, not just once, and since the lower number was 88, it is likely stress
How can you prove that water expands on freezing?
Quite simply, fill a tray with water and measure its depth. Now freeze it and measure how thick the solid block is. Having expanded, the thickness should be more than the depth (by about 11%). Another more graphic way is to fill a small container with a simple shape, like a glass drinking container, with water, then freeze it. The glass will have shattered, and any attempt to fit the ice into an identical container will fail because it is too big. The simplest thing is simply to observe that ice floats on water.
Why should water pipes in houses be well insulated so that they are not likely to freeze in the winter?

Why should water pipes in houses be well insulated so that they are not likely to freeze during the winter?
You gave the answer in the last part - you don't want them to freeze and burst during winter.
What plumbing doesn't freeze in winter?
Internal pipes in a heated house should not freeze. External pipes need to be well insulated from the cold, or they are likely to freeze.

Should furnace closet be insulated with drywall?
Yes, it should
Will a freeze kill an orange tree?
Most likely, yes. Healthy trees should be able to survive a freeze for up to 10 hours. Younger trees should never reach temperatures below 25 degrees.
How much energy does it take to heat a house in Idaho?
It all depends on the size of the house, how well it is insulated, the outside temperature, and the inside temperature. For most houses about 20 kW should be enough (say 75,000 BTU/hour)
What is the difference between a B vent and A vent?
A vent is non insulated and should be boxed in on the outside of your home. B vent is insulated and can be left exposed,
Why does corn rot when you freeze it?
Corn should not rot when you freeze it.
Why should the cbi be insulated from influence of government?
CBI should be insulated from influence of the government as it helps them to be better able to complete their jobs. Care must be taken to prevent them from exceeding their legal boundaries however.
What would cause the temperature gauge to rise in my 99 Neon?
You have to check if you have Anti-freeze in the radiator, make sure you check when the car is cold not hot! If Anti-freeze is not present make sure you do not have a leak. If Anti-freeze is present then it most likely is your thermostat which should only run you $20 to fix. Good Luck
