Compared to water most metals have low specific heats.?
true
Why metals have high specific gravity?
Metals have high specific gravity due to their relatively high atomic mass and close packing of atoms in their crystal lattice structures. This results in a high density, making metals heavier compared to non-metals or other materials.
Does a substance that heats up have a high or a low specific heat capacity?
A substance that heats up quickly has a low specific heat capacity, while a substance that heats up slowly has a high specific heat capacity. This is because substances with high specific heat capacities require more energy to change temperature compared to substances with low specific heat capacities.
Why are metals good conducted of heats?
If you haven't learned in your chemistry class about specific heat you will and metal has a very low specific heat. Water has a specific heat of is about 4.18 Joules/g, but most metals are underneath 1 making them be more susceptible to heat changes.
Does a high or low specific heat mean the substance heats up so fast?
A low specific heat means the substance heats up faster, as it requires less energy to raise its temperature. Conversely, a substance with a high specific heat requires more energy to raise its temperature, so it heats up more slowly.
What is the answer of a metal spoon is hotter than a wooden spoon after the spoons are put in a basin of hot water for 5 minutes?
Metals have specific heats higher than wood.
Does a substance that cools up quickly have high or low specific heat capacity?
It would have a LOW specific heat capacity because -- the subst heats up quickly which means you would use less heat capacity.
Do transitional metals have high density?
Transition metals can have high density due to their high atomic masses and compact atomic structures. However, the density of transition metals can vary widely depending on the specific metal and its crystal structure.
Is it true that metals are poor conductors of heat?
No, metals have low spefic heats, meaning they do not take much energy to change temperature.
Does the ocean heat and cool fast or slow?
The ocean heats up slowly due to the high specific heat capacity it possesses.
How does the temperatures increases of different materials depend on their specific heats?
The specific heat capacity of a material determines how much energy is needed to heat up a certain mass of the material by a certain amount. Materials with higher specific heats require more energy to raise their temperature compared to materials with lower specific heats. Therefore, materials with higher specific heats will have slower temperature increases when heated compared to materials with lower specific heats.
Are metals high density?
Yes Metals have a high density.
