What else can I help you with?
Is glass a better conductor of heat than water?
No, water is a better conductor of heat than glass. Water has a higher thermal conductivity, allowing it to transfer heat more efficiently than glass. Glass is a relatively poor conductor of heat compared to water.
When cold water is poured into a glass the glass becomes colder?
When cold water is poured into a glass, heat energy is transferred from the glass to the water, causing the glass to become colder. The glass loses heat as it transfers it to the colder water until thermal equilibrium is reached.
Does water vapor gain or lose heat when it condenses?
removed. The heat in the glass is being extracted causing the outside of the glass to have water on it.
For water in glass plastic or styrofoam cups - which will freeze fastest?
Assuming they are the same or similar shape and volume, water in glass would freeze first, then plastic then foam. Foam allows transfer of heat out of water more slowly than plastic and the glass probably has the highest rate of heat radiation of the three.
What has the largest specific heat capacity brick iron water or glass?
Water.
How can you make water in a glass evaporate faster?
You can make water in a glass evaporate faster by increasing the temperature in the room, adding heat directly to the glass, increasing air circulation around the glass, or lowering the humidity in the room.
What cup will freeze water faster glass or a foam?
Water will freeze faster in a glass cup compared to a foam cup because glass is a better conductor of heat than foam. This means that the glass cup will transfer heat away from the water more quickly, leading to faster freezing. Foam cups insulate better and will retain heat, making the freezing process slower.
Can glass transfer heat?
Yes, glass can transfer heat. It is generally a poor conductor of heat compared to materials like metal, but it can still conduct heat through its structure. This is why glass can feel hot to the touch if it has been in contact with a heat source.
Is water added to glass beads reversible or irreversible?
YES! Because when you heat the mixture of water and glass beads up at boiling temperature, the water will evaporate and leave the glass beads behind. =-)
Is a glass bottle an insulator?
Glass is a good insulator because it does not conduct heat or electricity well. Glass bottles can help keep beverages hot or cold by limiting the transfer of heat from their surroundings.
What happens to the inside of a glass when YOU pour hot water?
When hot water is poured into a glass, the glass expands slightly due to the heat. This can create stress within the glass, potentially leading to cracks or breakage, especially if the glass is thin or has imperfections. It is best to use tempered glass or heat-resistant glassware for pouring hot liquids to minimize the risk of breakage.
What type of energy transfer is it when cold water is poured into a glass in becomes colder?
This is an example of heat transfer from the warm water to the cold glass. The glass absorbs the thermal energy from the water, causing the water to cool down.
