Is rusting metal exothermic or endothermic?

It is an exothermic reaction. However, rusting of iron liberates only a small amount of heat as compared to other forms of metal corrosion.


Which one is a chemical change -rusting of iron or melting of iron?

Rusting is a chemical change. it forms one of the iron oxides depending the conditions. Melting is simply changing the form of the metal and of course it reverts to the solid state after the heat source is removed.


What is the metal mesh called that that is used to prevent glassware from cracking when heated with a Bunsen burner?

A heat diffuser is used to diminish the concentrated heat of the flame of a burner and thus prevent glass from breaking due to thermal stress.


What is the annealing process of metal heat treatment?

The process of heat treatment in which a metal or alloy is heated to an appropriate temperature, held for a certain period of time, and then slowly cooled (usually as the furnace cools) is called annealing.The essence of annealing is to heat steel to austenitizing for pearlite transformation, and the annealed tissue is the nearly balanced one.Purpose of annealing:(1) Reduce the hardness of steel, improve the plasticity, and facilitate machining and cold deformation processing;(2) Uniform steel chemical composition and structure, refine grain, improve steel performance or prepare for quenching structure;(3) Eliminate internal stress and work hardening to prevent deformation and cracking.


How does metal react to heat?

Heat makes a metal expand. If you take a metal ball and an metal loop that the ball fits in and then heat the ball and try to put it back in the loop it will not go back through. :)

To avoid rusting. Corrugated metals don't rust, no matter the amount of heat and water on it.

quenching


Will ice melt faster on metal board or plastic board?

Metal. The metal sheet will conduct heat from the rest of the environment to the ice, while a plastic sheet will insulate the ice and prevent heat from flowing into it.

What does the term annealing mean?

It's heat treatment. By heating and cooling a metal under very controlled circumstances the properties of the metal can be improved.


Why machine oil is put on moving parts of a machine?

To prevent the friction between them otherwise they will jam and there may be excess heating of parts due to frictionAnother reason to oil machine parts is to prevent rusting. IF a machine part is rubbing another so one has bare metal - it will rust quite quickly - so in addition to reducing friction and heat build up it prevents rust


How are rusting the same as burning?

In some ways. Rusting is an oxidation reaction similar to fire and it does release heat, but it is so slow that the heat does not affect the reaction. In a fire the heat released goes helps sustain the reaction.


One difference between rusting and burning?

During the burning process, a large amount of heat is released. On the other hand, very little amount of heat is released during the rusting process.
