The values are different for each type of plastic.

how much heat is required to convert 0,3kg of ice at 0c to water at the same tempture
How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.358 of copper from 23.0 to 60.0 ? The specific heat of copper is 0.0920
Yes, you can heat a plastic bottle, but you have to be careful not to heat it too much because you can melt it, or even cause it to burst into flames. The safest technique is to heat it in a pot of water, and depending upon the type of plastic, you may not even want to bring the water to a boil.
No, it is not. Metals conduct heat much better than most plastics. However, if the metal is used as a reflector of radiated heat, it will insulate better than plastic would.
No, saucepans have plastic handles because the plastic doesnt absorb as much heat as the metal, making you able to pick up the pan without burning yourself
well if you do it then paper burns MUCH faster than plastic...Thanks.
it is bad becaause it is flammable and cannot with stand much heat.
Around 350 million tonnes.
