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.


Can glass transfer heat?

Yes. Just fill a glass with hot water and feel.


What has the largest specific heat capacity brick iron water or glass?

Water.


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. =-)


Why do water droplets appear on a glass of water?

Droplets appear on a glass of water because of condensation. When the air touches the cold glass, it turns into a liquid, forming a droplet. This is because, when you add heat, a liquid turns to a gas, but when you take away heat, it turns back into a liquid.

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.


Does a glass get hot when you put hot water in it?

Glass conducts electricity well letting the heat flow through it. 2. OOPS! (it is only at very high temperatures that glass conducts electricity, and even then it is not a good conductor.) And glass is not a very good conductor of heat, but it will conduct heat albeit slowly.


What does glass do with heat?

Glass does not "do" anything with heat. Glass is not a (thermal) insulator though.
