A test tube is filled with tap water (about 25oC). An ice block is placed in the test tube and is kept at the bottom of the test tube by means of a wire gauze.
Next (without delaying too much since the ice block would melt completely!), the test tube is bent and the upper end of the test tube placed in a Bunsen flame.
It is found that the water at the upper end boils before the ice block melts. This shows that water is a poor conductor of heat.

Is water a good conductor of heat or bad?
Water is a good conductor of heat.
Is water vapour a good conductor of heat?
Water vapor is not a very good conductor of heat. However, liquid water is considered to be among the best conductors of heat.
Is ceramic a bad conductor of heat?
Why is glass a good conductor of heat and ceramic is not a good conductor of heat?
Is duct tape a good conductor of heat?
NO, it is not a good conductor of heat.
Why mercury good heat conductor but not water?
Because you can see air
Is water a good conductor of heat or bad?
Water is a good conductor of heat.
Is water a best conductor of heat?
Not exactly. That is why it warms up with heat. A good conductor of heat like copper or iron is best conductor in comparision to water.
Is water vapour a good conductor of heat?
Water vapor is not a very good conductor of heat. However, liquid water is considered to be among the best conductors of heat.
Does dirt or mud conduct heat better?
mud would conduct heat better as water is a pretty good heat conductor
Why water is a good conductor of heat?
Water is a good conductor of heat because it is a liquid thus convection currents can flow as well as transferring heat by conduction through the water molecules.
Is ceramic a bad conductor of heat?
Why is glass a good conductor of heat and ceramic is not a good conductor of heat?
A material that is a good thermal conductor would?
A material that is a good thermal conductor would hold in a lot of heat. These thermal conductors would also transfer heat easily.
Is a human being good conductor of heat?
human is not a good conductor because if u can touch the water heater with your hand then the heat can't flow through out your body that's why the human body does not a good conductor.
Is duct tape a good conductor of heat?
NO, it is not a good conductor of heat.
What type of material is good at transfering heat?
Thermal conductor, such as water
Why mercury good heat conductor but not water?
Because you can see air
Is a human being a conductor of heat?
